Explanation
Rezoning Application Z24-040
APPLICANT: Chris Vallette; 72 Mill Street; Gahanna, OH 43230.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on May 8, 2025.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 5.78± acre site consists of one parcel developed with a commercial structure and a vacant school building in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District (Z08-035). The existing CPD district allows for a motorcycle sales, service and training facility, with a site plan commitment that envisioned the former school building being used for the business. This CPD request modifies the previously approved site plan and text, and allows commercial and institutional uses, with supplemental development standards addressing building and parking setbacks, required parking, screening, street trees, and a new site plan. The changes are necessary because it is not feasible to reuse the former school building, and new buildings are proposed on the site. Additionally, code modifications to building setbacks and parking requirements are included in the text. The request is consistent with the Scioto Southland Area Plan’s (2007) recommendation for “Commercial” land uses at this location. Further, the site plan demonstrates compatibility with Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guideline (2018) by placing parking in the interior of the site, providing street trees, and adequately screening the site from adjacent residential uses.
