Explanation
Rezoning Application Z13-006
APPLICANT: McDonald's USA, LLC; c/o Lynsey Ondecker, Agent; 1801 Watermark Drive, Suite 150; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Expansion of existing restaurant.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on March 14, 2013.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a fast-food restaurant and a parking lot, and is zoned in the L-C-4, Limited Commercial District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow additions and exterior improvements to the existing restaurant, and modify access, parking, and maneuvering throughout the site. The site is located within the planning area of the Northland Plan Volume I (2001), but it is not within a Subarea that provides land use recommendations. The site is also subject to The Northland Development Standards (1992), which recommend a thirty-foot landscaped setback (building and parking) along arterial streets as well as maximum lot coverage of 85%. Staff does not object to this proposal since the request does not represent a significant change in the existing conditions with respect to open space and setbacks. The CPD text commits to a site plan and elevation drawings, and includes use restrictions, landscaping, street trees, and exterior building material provisions. Variances for building and parking setbacks, and to allow maneuvering and parking spaces to cross a parcel line are included in the request. The request is consistent with the established zoning and development patterns of the area.
