Explanation
Rezoning Application Z15-050
APPLICANT: Ohio Mulch; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Landscaping and mulch retail and wholesale.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on January 14, 2016.
NORTHLAND COMMUNITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 1.2± acre site consists of two parcels, each with an existing single dwelling-unit, zoned M-1, Manufacturing District in 1960. The applicant proposes the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District, for the development of a retail and wholesale landscaping and mulch business. The limitation text includes restrictions on permitted uses and commitments to landscaping/screening, outdoor display areas, signage, and a site plan. This site is located within the planning area of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Community Commercial”, allowing for retail, office, hotel, or institutional uses that serve multiple neighborhoods, but generally do not attract residents from outside the area. Staff is supportive of the request for the L-M, Manufacturing District. Committing to use restrictions and development standards ensures that development is compatible with adjacent commercial and manufacturing properties as well as the development patterns of the area. Concurrent Council variance Ordinance No. 0505-2016 (CV15-068) is also under consideration to vary the required parking and setback standards of the proposed L-M district.
