Explanation
REZONING APPLICATION: Z04-048.
APPLICANT: CarMax Auto Superstores, Inc; c/o George McCue and Michael Shannon, Attys.; Crabbe, Brown & James, LLP.; 500 South Front Street, Suite 1200; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Used automobile sales.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on August 12, 2004.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District to develop an automotive sales business is consistent with land use recommendations of the Northland Plan I (2001), with the Northland Standards (2001), and with surrounding commercial development. The CPD text includes use restrictions and development standards similar to those established for the adjacent Easton shopping center. There will be no access from this site to Sunbury Road, no direct access to Morse Road, and the wooded ravine located on the northwest portion of the site along Sunbury Road will remain undeveloped. The proposed reduction to the Sunbury Road building setback line is reasonable because the Applicant has agreed to dedicate more right-of-way than is required by the Columbus Thoroughfare Plan and extensive landscaping will be installed along Sunbury Road.
