CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.08± acre site consists of one undeveloped parcel zoned in the AR-3, Apartment Residential District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow an automobile rental and charging station. The site is within the planning area of the Milo-Grogan Neighborhood Plan (2007) which recommends “Light Industrial” land uses for this location, and includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The site is also within the Milo-Grogan Urban Commercial Overlay (UCO) and the I-670 Graphics Control Overlay. The CPD text commits to a site plan, and includes appropriate use restrictions and supplemental development standards addressing parking, traffic access, landscaping, and lighting controls. Modifications to code standards to reduce the number of parking spaces from six to two spaces, to allow stacked parking, and to reduce the UCO landscaping width and setback requirements are also included in the request. The UCO modifications are supported and are offset by additional landscaping in the form of street trees along both the Cleveland Avenue and Essex Avenue frontages, while the parking reduction aligns with both the Plan’s and C2P2’s design guidelines.
