Rezoning Application Z09-027
APPLICANT: B&I Group LLC; c/o Laura MacGregor Comek, Atty.; Crabbe, Brown & James, LLP; 500 South Front Street, Suite 1200; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage facility or limited commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-1) on November 12, 2009.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will allow a self storage facility with accessory truck rental or C-2 commercial development. The limitation text commits to a site plan and includes development standards that address use restrictions, landscaping, buffering, screening, exterior building materials, and lighting controls. The proposal includes bicycle parking to address Columbus Healthy Places comments and contains restrictions for the maximum number and parking location of rental trucks. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District, with the proposed limitations, provides a transition from the commercial uses along Cleveland Avenue and the multi-family residential development to the south and west. The limitations prohibiting doors from facing the adjacent residences along with the extensive buffering and screening along the property lines will ensure that the proposal is compatible with the surrounding development. The request is consistent with similar requests for self-storage facilities adjacent to residential developments.
