Rezoning Application Z23-025
APPLICANT: Vergniaud Angrand c/o Jeanne Cabral, Agent; 2939 Bexley Park Road; Columbus, OH 43209
PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on July 13, 2023.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.66± acre site consists of one parcel developed with a funeral home in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The property is subject to the Mt. Vernon Urban Commercial Overlay (UCO). The requested CPD district updates the allowable uses to include a religious facility, offices, and a charter school in addition to the existing funeral home use. The CPD text includes appropriate use restrictions, supplemental development standards, and code modifications to parking lot trees, fencing, UCO building design, and a parking space reduction from 60 required to 41 provided spaces. Additionally, the CPD text and site plan demonstrate limited traffic access to Mt. Vernon Avenue, the preservation of existing wrought iron fencing with planted landscaping, and four bicycle racks to account for the requested parking space reduction, all consistent with the Near East Area Plan’s guidelines for parking lots. The proposed uses are consistent with both the Plan’s recommendation for “Higher Density Residential/Mixed Use,” and the mixed-use zoning and development pattern along this portion of Mt. Vernon Avenue.
