PROPOSED USE: Limited commercial and less-objectionable manufacturing uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on April 11, 2024.
MIDEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 6.0± acre site consists of one undeveloped parcel zoned in the R, Rural District. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will allow the site to be developed with limited commercial and less-objectionable manufacturing uses. The site is not located within the boundaries of a Council adopted land use plan but is subject to Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The limitation text establishes appropriate uses and supplemental development standards addressing setbacks, access, landscaping, and outdoor storage. Staff supports the proposal and notes limitation text commitments to preserve the existing tree line, and site design consistent with C2P2 Design Guidelines. Additionally the proposal is consistent with the existing zoning pattern along Refugee Road which includes a mix of commercial and manufacturing-oriented uses. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #1734-2024; CV24-010) has been filed to reduce the outdoor storage setback on the site, and includes a commitment to a site plan.
