Explanation
Rezoning Application Z08-023
APPLICANT: Dhruv Real Estate Venture, LLC; c\o Michael T. Shannon, Attorney; 500 South Front Street, Suite 1200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Hotel and restaurant.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on September 11, 2008.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 3.6± acre site is undeveloped and zoned in the R, Rural District. The applicant is requesting the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District with a hotel and a restaurant as the only permitted uses. The proposed CPD specifies development standards including building, parking and pavement setbacks, height restrictions, street trees, design and lighting standards. The applicant is requesting a variance to the minimum number of required parking spaces, a reduction of 20 spaces for a restaurant use. Any hotel use shall satisfy the minimum parking requirement. The site is located within the boundaries of the Port Columbus Area Development Partnership, Joint Economic Development Strategy (2008), which recommends light industrial for the subject site. The proposal is not consistent with the recommended land use but is supportable due to the visibility of this site relative to I-670, the accessibility to the interchange of Cassady/I-670 and proximity to the airport. The proposed CPD District, with the proposed development standards in the text and site plan, is compatible with development in the area.
