Explanation
Rezoning Application Z18-052
APPLICANT: Kingsley + Co.; c/o Sean Mentel, Atty.; 100 South Fourth Street, Suite 100; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed use development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on February 14, 2019
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This 2.27+/- acre site presently consists of eight parcels and is developed with a vacant commercial building, a two-unit dwelling, and a parking lot zoned in the R-2F, Residential and AR-O, Apartment Office districts. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District would permit a mixed-use development consisting of residential, retail, and office uses. The site is located within the boundaries of the East Long Street Urban Commercial Overlay (UCO) and is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends “higher density residential and mixed-use development” at this location. The development text permits C-4 district uses, C-4 and UCO development standards, and establishes supplemental standards that address setbacks, parking, and graphics. Variances to reduce the required number of parking spaces from 249 to 128 and to reduce building and parking setback lines are included in the proposal. The request is consistent with the Plan’s recommendations for the development of pedestrian and transit-oriented environments and the use of Urban Commercial Overlay design standards with street-level retail, and is also compatible with the commercial developments along the Long Street corridor and the adjacent dwellings to the north and east. The applicant has filed a concurrent Council Variance (ORD #0598-2019; CV18-073) to allow first-floor residential uses on the site.
