Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z25-004
APPLICANT: South Central Power Company; c/o Curtis H. Knapp, Atty; 1160 Dublin Road; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Electrical sub-station.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on May 8, 2025.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will allow the site to be developed with an electrical sub-station at this location. A rezoning is required because the site is subject to Ordinance #0492-2022 (Z21-081), which does not allow the proposed use, and designated this location as a “restricted area” which included more stringent development standards. The site is within the boundaries of the South Central Accord (1997), which recommends “Light-Industrial” and “Agricultural/Open Space” at this location, and includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The limitation text commits to a site plan, and includes supplemental development standards addressing building setbacks, traffic access, and landscaping and screening. Staff supports the requested rezoning as the proposed use is generally consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, and the landscaping and screening provided in the text is consistent with C2P2 design guidelines when industrial development is adjacent to residential uses.
