Explanation
Rezoning Application Z06-067
APPLICANT: Continental Real Estate Companies; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Attorney; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on November 9, 2006.
NORTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 21.4± acre site is undeveloped and zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The current CPD zoning was approved by City Council on July 24, 2006 with recommendations of approval from the North East Area Commission, staff, and the Development Commission. That zoning limits the size of the grocery store to 87,000 square feet and allows one fuel sales facility, but not a car wash. The proposed revisions to the CPD include allowing a grocery store with a maximum size of 110,000 square feet and one car wash on the property. The increase in the size of the grocery store does not alter the maximum development permitted on the site. The remainder of the tenants would not be permitted to exceed 15,000 square feet each. The site is located within the boundaries of the Northeast Area Plan (1994), which recommends industrial land use for the site. The 61 acres to the east and south of the site was rezoned to PUD-8 in 2005, permitting residential development. Development patterns have changed significantly in the last several years to warrant a deviation from the Plan to permit commercial development. The CPD text commits to development standards including maximum store size, street trees, screening, parking lot trees, sidewalks, landscaping, and lighting controls. The revised CPD, with the proposed development standards, is compatible with the development in the area.
