APPLICANT: Motley 7 Brew; c/o Matthew Weymouth; and Allan Wiley, Agent; 565 White Pond Drive; Akron, OH 44320.
PROPOSED USE: Drive-thru coffee shop.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on June 12, 2025.
GREATER HILLTOP AREA COMMISSION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a vacant commercial building in the C-2, Commercial District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow the site to be redeveloped with a drive-thru coffee shop at this location. The site is within the boundaries of the Hilltop Land Use Plan (2019), which recommends “Mixed Use 1 (<24 du/ac)” at this location, and includes the complete adoption of Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The CPD text commits to a site plan, landscape plan, and building elevations and includes supplemental development standards addressing building and parking setbacks and traffic access. Modifications to Code Standards for reduced building setbacks and dumpster area are also included in the text. Staff supports the requested rezoning as the proposed landscaping provides a high level of screening between the right-of-way and the parking lot adjacent to residential areas, consistent with C2P2 design guidelines. The proposed commercial development is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation which includes commercial uses, and is compatible with adjacent commercial developments in the surrounding area.
