Explanation
Rezoning Application Z12-014
APPLICANT: Ohio Hospital for Psychiatry LLC; c/o Jackson B. Reynolds, III, Atty.; Smith and Hale LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Expansion of existing hospital.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on April 12, 2012.
FRANKLINTON AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a psychiatric hospital in the AR-3, Apartment Residential District, and a parking lot on the parcel to the immediate east which is undergoing annexation from Franklin Township. The northwest frontage along Greenfield Drive, which is owned by Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority, has been incorporated into the zoning application for site access purposes. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow an addition to the existing hospital which will span over the parcel line. The parcels will not be able to be combined after the annexation is complete because they will have two different taxing districts. The CPD plan depicts the site layout, and the CPD text includes appropriate use restrictions, street trees, screening, and contains variances for setbacks, maneuvering over property lines, and minimum number of parking spaces. The site is located within the planning area of The Franklinton Plan (2003), which recommends apartment and office uses for the western portion of the site, and identifies the eastern portion of the site as "Vacant Land." Staff does not object to the proposal considering the request is for the expansion of an existing hospital on a site that, in effect, does not include relevant land use guidance in The Franklinton Plan.
