Explanation
Rezoning Application # Z09-014
APPLICANT: Preferred Real Estate Investments II, LLC; c/o Robert A. Meyer, Jr., Attorney; Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur LLP; 41 South High Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Office and hotel development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (3-0) on August 13, 2009.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is subject of a 2008 rezoning (Z07-027) from the C-2, Commercial District to the L-C-4, Limited Commercial, and L-AR-12 Limited Apartment Residential Districts. The L-C-4 District is developed with an extended-stay hotel. The requested L-C-4, Limited Commercial District would permit all C-2 uses with the addition of hotel uses. The limitation text contains appropriate development standards that are consistent with the adjacent L-C-4 District, and includes buffering and screening provisions in consideration of the adjacent single-family residential development. The site is located within the planning area of The Northwest Plan (2007), which supports development under the previously zoned C-2 District. Since the Plan recommendation had been deviated from for the current L-C-4 and L-AR-12 Districts, and this proposal will now allow office development and only one C-4 use for hotel development, Staff is supportive of the request. The proposed L-C-4, Limited Commercial District is compatible with the zoning and development patterns in the area.
