Explanation
Rezoning Application Z05-090
APPLICANT: The Ellis Company, Ltd.; c/o Jeffrey Brown, Attorney; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on January 11, 2006.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The Northland Plan -Volume I (2001) recommends office and high-density residential uses, while self-storage uses are discouraged in the area. The plan also recommends the use of limited zoning and appropriate development standards. This site is zoned CPD, Commercial Planned Development, approved in 2003, which permits commercial development. A deviation from the use recommended by the plan is acceptable, in this case, taking into account the adjacent rent-a-space and auto repair uses in Blendon Township, and that the limited remaining property frontage makes office development difficult. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District, establishes use restrictions and provides development standards to ensure compatibility with the adjacent residential development. The limitation overlay text also incorporates applicable Northland Development Standards addressing street trees, buffering and lighting controls.
