Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z20-032
APPLICANT: HK Phillips Restoration, Inc.; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; Smith and Hale, LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Contractor’s storage yard.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on December 10, 2020.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.72± acre site consists of three parcels developed with multiple buildings and a contractor’s storage yard, all operating as one entity, in the C-4, Commercial, and R-4, Residential districts. The site is subject to Code Violation Order #18470-07731 for establishing storage in the R-4 district in violation of an approved site plan and without zoning clearance. While the requested M, Manufacturing District is not completely consistent with the West Franklinton Plan’s (2014), land use recommendation for “Community Commercial,” the request is appropriate and compatible with the zoning pattern at the intersection of Harmon Avenue and Greenlawn Avenue. Additionally, the request results in the zoning map representing the uses occurring on site and will not add incompatible uses to the area. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1293-2021; CV20-037) has been filed to include variances to aisle width, interior and perimeter parking lot landscaping and screening, building and parking setbacks, residential distance separation, and storage.
