Explanation
REZONING APPLICATION: Z04-105
APPLICANT: Hilliard Rome Chiropractic & Rehab Co., PC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; Smith and Hale; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Medical office, veterinary or fitness center development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on March 10, 2005.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant is requesting the L-C-42, Limited Commercial District to permit office development on the entire site and veterinary and fitness center uses on approximately the southern one third of the site. While the West Columbus Interim Concept (1991) recommends multi-family residential development on this site, staff believes that deviation from the plan to permit the proposed commercial uses is appropriate. The depth of the remaining residential parcels is not sufficient for further multi-family development and the proposed commercial uses are consistent with L-C-4 zoning already established on the west side of Hilliard-Rome Road. The limitation text permits C-2 uses on the entire site and veterinary or fitness center development on about one-third of the site, and includes customary development standards that address site access, sidewalks, street trees and landscaping, building design and materials, and lighting controls.
Title
