Explanation
Rezoning Application Z14-034
APPLICANT: New Par, a Delaware Partnership dba Verizon Wireless; c/o Christopher N. Slagle and Gregory J. Lestini, Attys.; Bricker & Eckler LLP; 100 South Third Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Monopole telecommunications antenna and commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on October 8, 2015.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 2.83± acre site is currently developed with several retail structures and zoned CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The current CPD text allows all C-4 uses, but commits to the as-built conditions on the property which prevents new structures from being constructed. The proposed limitation text provides use restrictions beyond what the current CPD district allows, and includes setback and access commitments, preservation of the existing landscaped berm along the north and west property lines, graphics controls, and commitment to a site plan for the monopole communications antenna. The site is located within the boundaries of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends community commercial uses for this location. With the proposed use restrictions, development standards, and preservation of the landscaped berm, the requested zoning is consistent with the land use recommendations of the Northland I Area Plan, and the zoning and development pattern of the area.
