Explanation
Rezoning Application Z18-069
APPLICANT: The Ohio State University, Physical Planning and Real Estate; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Parking lot expansion for medical clinic.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on February 26, 2020.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a medical clinic building zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, and three parcels developed with single-unit dwellings zoned in the R-3, Residential District. The applicant proposes the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District to permit a parking lot expansion for the medical office, with one dwelling to be maintained in the R-3 district on a smaller lot. The current CPD district is included to remove landscaping requirements along its southern boundary where the parking lot expansion will occur. The CPD district is comprised of two subareas with Subarea A located in the existing CPD district, and Subarea B only being for the expanded parking lot. The text commits to use restrictions, and provisions addressing lot coverage, access, landscaping, and graphics controls. Variances are included to permit parcel lines to divide maneuvering areas and parking spaces. The site is within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends “Office/Light Industrial/Mixed Uses” for the medical clinic portion of the site, and “Lower and Medium Density Residential” for the expanded parking lot area. Deviation from the land use recommendation is supported for the parking lot expansion because sufficient landscaping and screening have been incorporated into the CPD Plan.
