Explanation
Rezoning Application Z07-001
APPLICANT: M&B Properties; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; Smith and Hale; 37 West Broad Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval (2-2) on April 12, 2007.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The proposed offices and storage are low intensity nonresidential uses as recommended by the Northwest Plan (1991). These uses are compatible with the adjacent residences due to the enclosed nature of the storage facility and the orientation of the storage doors toward the interior of the site. This site will be accessed off of Sawmill Road instead of the residential streets. The proposed treatment of the perimeter further ensures compatibility with the surrounding dwellings. The prohibition of electricity in the storage units further limits the intensity of use. Finally, the buffering, lighting controls, building material restrictions, the screening of mechanicals and limits on the hours of operation provided in the text also help ensure compatibility with the adjacent residences.
