Explanation
Rezoning Application Z13-008
APPLICANT: NP/FG LLC and NP Limited Partnership; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Co. Inc.; 145 East Rich St., 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 145 East Rich St., 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Limited commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on June 12, 2014.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The proposed L-C-4, Limited Commercial District will allow commercial development consistent with the surrounding commercial districts. The subject site is within Subarea J2 of the Far North Plan (1994), which is being updated, but currently recommends preservation of existing residential development or compatible residential infill as an alternative. The Plan also recommends measures be taken to preserve and protect mature trees and appropriate existing vegetation during the development process. Since the Far North Plan’s adoption, 11 acres at the northeast corner of I-71 and Gemini Place have been annexed and zoned L-C-4. Both sites are controlled by NP Limited as an extension of the larger southern property. This proposal is similar in nature as it sits between the more recently zoned L-C-4 site to the west and the former amphitheater site, also zoned L-C-4, to the east. The limitation text includes use restrictions and development standards that address access, maximum building height, landscaping, tree preservation, screening, lighting controls, and underground utility lines. A setback exhibit to help illustrate the building limitations in relation to the adjacent residential uses is also included with this request.
