Explanation
Rezoning Application Z03-089
APPLICANT: N.P. Limited; c/o Donald T. Plank, Atty.; 145 East Rich Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Regional commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The proposed L-C-4, Limited Commercial District provides nearly identical use restrictions, development standards, and access controls (there will be no vehicular access from Colonial Meadows Drive to the site) as abutting and nearby commercial districts.
