Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-099
APPLICANT: Grant Avenue Partners Ltd.; c/o Donald T. Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Vehicle storage and wholesaling.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (7-0) on April 14, 2023.
GREATER HILLTOP AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 1.20± acre site consists of part of two parcels developed with a commercial building, split zoned in the C-4, Commercial District along West Broad Street, and the M, Manufacturing District at the rear. The requested M, Manufacturing District will remove the split zoning of the site, and will permit vehicle storage and wholesaling at this location. The site is subject to the West Broad Street/Greater Hilltop Regional Commercial Overlay (RCO). The site is also located within the planning area of the Hilltop Land Use Plan (2019), which recommends “Mixed Use (>45 du/ac)” land uses at this location, and includes complete adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #2050-2023; CV22-159) has been filed and includes variances for driveway, landscaping and screening, and reduced building and parking setbacks. While the proposed M, Manufacturing District is inconsistent with the Plan’s “Mixed Use” recommendation, staff supports the request as it establishes a single zoning designation consistent with the predominant zoning north of the subject site.
