APPLICANT: Scioto Landscaping; c/o David Hodge, Atty. 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 120; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Limited manufacturing and storage uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on November 13, 2025.
WEST SCIOTO AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels with an office building and garage in the AR-O, Apartment-Office District. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will legitimize the current use to comply with an active Zoning Code violation. The text includes appropriate use restrictions and development standards, as well as a commitment to develop the site in accordance with the submitted site plan. The request is consistent with Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018) with the inclusion of on-site bicycle parking, and the surrounding development pattern is commercial and industrial despite the presence of adjacent residential zoning. Concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #3263-2025; CV24-146) proposes to reduce parking lot screening, maneuvering, parking setback, required parking, vision clearance, building setback, storage setback, and the required separation distance from an adjacent residential district.
