Explanation
Rezoning Application Z09-041
APPLICANT: Southland Self Storage LLC; c/o David L. Hodge, Atty.; Smith and Hale; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (3-1-1) on March 11, 2010.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The proposed L-M, Limited Manufacturing District would allow C-2 uses and self-storage. While the request is not consistent with The West Columbus Interim Development Concept: 1991, Staff recognizes that the site, which has been zoned in the C-2, Commercial District for 36 years, has not developed with either office or residential uses. Furthermore, although self-storage is not the optimal use of the site, it is a low intensity nonresidential use. This use is compatible with the adjacent residences due to the enclosed nature of the storage facility and the orientation of the storage doors toward the interior of the site. The proposed treatment of the perimeter, the buffering, lighting controls, building material restrictions, the screening of mechanicals provide compatibility with the adjacent residences. Staff finds that the proposed self-storage use is compatible with the development in the area given the development standards included in the text and the site plan.
