Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z20-072
APPLICANT: JP Morgan Chase; c/o Michael Shannon, Atty.; Underhill & Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Solar panels on carports in an existing parking lot.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on March 11, 2021.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 9.82± acre site comprised of two parcels zoned in the L-P-1, Limited Parking District, and is developed with a parking lot for the adjacent office development. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow installation of roof-mounted solar panels on carports within the existing parking lot. Rezoning is necessary because structures such as carports are not permitted within P-1 districts. The site is within the planning area of the Northeast Area Plan (2007), which recommends “Office” uses for this location. The Plan also encourages the utilization of green building construction materials and methods in commercial design. The development text commits to a site plan and includes provisions for setbacks, access, landscaping, building design, and signage commitments. A variance to eliminate the requirement for interior parking lot landscaping is included in this request as the carport structures cover most of the parking lot surface. The proposal is consistent with the land use and design recommendations of the Northeast Area Plan, and the surrounding development pattern.
