Explanation
Rezoning Application Z25-008
APPLICANT: Vermilion Acquisitions Ohio, LLC; c/o Stephen M. Griffith, Jr., Atty.; 425 Walnut Street, Suite 1800; Cincinnati, OH 45202.
PROPOSED USE: Assisted living facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on June 12, 2025.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels, each developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R, Rural District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow for the development of an assisted living facility. The development text includes appropriate use restrictions and supplemental development standards, as well as commitments to develop the site in accordance with the submitted site plan, landscape plan, and building elevations. The proposal is consistent with the “Employment Center” land use recommendation of the Far East Land Use Plan (2018). Although Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018) note that parking should be located to the rear of the facility and be hidden from view to the greatest extent possible, the proposed use of the property and the level of screening along the McNaughten Road frontage are mitigating factors of support. The proposal is otherwise consistent with C2P2 Commercial Design Guidelines.
