Rezoning Application Z12-044
APPLICANT: Lennox Town Plaza LLC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; Smith and Hale LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on October 10, 2013.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is comprised of two separate parcels developed with a camping supply store and a second-hand store currently zoned in the R, Rural District as a result of a September 2012 annexation from Clinton Township. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow mixed-commercial development. The CPD text commits to a site plan, and includes use restrictions and variances for reduced setbacks, a decreased width for headlight screening planting area, and a reduction of thirty-five required parking spaces.

The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow commercial redevelopment that is consistent with the zoning and development pattern of the area.
