Explanation
Rezoning Application Z05-072
APPLICANT: Giant Eagle Inc.; c/o Jackson B. Reynolds III, Atty., Smith and Hale; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Convenience store with fuel sales.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-3) on April 6, 2006.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on May 11, 2006.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.29-acre site is part of a 4.97-acre parcel developed with a grocery store and zoned in the L-C-4, Limited Commercial District. The L-C-4 zoning limited the use to grocery store only. The proposed CPD, Commercial Planned Development, uses are limited to fuel sales with pump islands and canopy, retail sales in a convenience store, and associated parking. The exterior building treatments will be architecturally compatible with the adjacent Olentangy Village development. The CPD complies with nearly all requirements of the Urban Commercial Overlay, requesting variances only for fence height and for parking lot screening on the west. The proposed retail building at a five-foot setback from North High Street serves to fill an empty space in the streetscape, as the site is presently part of a parking lot. This CPD proposal requires a reduction of twenty-four (24) parking spaces for the existing grocery store site. An Urban Commercial Overlay administrative parking waiver was issued for the displaced parking.
