Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z25-046
APPLICANT: Anthony & Kimberly Properties, LLC c/o Catherine A. Cunningham, Atty.; 65 East State Street, Suite 1800; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (7-0) on January 8, 2026.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels, each developed with a single-unit dwelling within the R, Rural District. The applicant requests the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District to allow commercial development, including a private parking lot, on the eastern parcel. Additionally, the existing single-unit dwellings on both parcels will continue as non-conforming uses until the remainder of the site is redeveloped with allowable commercial uses provided in the development text. The CPD text includes appropriate use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address building setback lines, building height, access, parking setbacks, landscaping and screening, lighting, buffering, perimeter screening, and signage, and includes a commitment to develop the site in accordance with the submitted site plan. Code modifications to parking setbacks, landscaping and screening, lighting, and required surface for the proposed parking lot are included in the text. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Very Low Density Residential” land uses at this location. Although the proposed use is inconsistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, the request is compatible with existing adjacent commercial uses to the south and east. Additionally, this site proposed for “Mixed Use 1” land uses by the Columbus Growth Strategy (2026).
