Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z24-072
APPLICANT: Cardinal Self Storage LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage facility and limited commercial uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (3-0-1) on May 8, 2025.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. The site consists of three undeveloped parcels in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will allow a self-storage facility and limited commercial uses. The limitation text includes appropriate use restrictions and supplemental development standards addressing access, screening, and lighting controls, and includes commitments to develop the site in accordance with the submitted site plan, landscape plan, and building elevations. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Northeast Area Plan (2007), which recommends “Office-Light Industrial” land uses at this location. Staff does not support the proposed rezoning as the Plan recommends prioritizing income-generating uses such as future job sites, and should include a density of at least ten employees per gross acre. The proposed use is inconsistent with these recommendations. Concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1394-2025; CV24-161) proposes reduced building setbacks, as shown on the submitted site plan.
