APPLICANT: Whirlpool Corporation; c/o Christopher N. Slagle, Atty.; 100 South Third Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Industrial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: To be received Approval (6-0) on July 10, 2008.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will permit industrial development with appropriate development standards. The 191.5± acre site is zoned L-M, Limited Manufacturing, and R, Rural Districts. Part of the site is subject of a boundary adjustment with Obetz. A two-acre tract at the southeast corner of the site was zoned to the L-M District in May 2008 (Z07-063). The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will rezone the portion of the site from Obetz, change transportation commitments of the larger L-M District (Z96-038), and consolidate all of the zoning districts of the proposed development into one L-M District. The site is located within the planning area of the South Central Accord (2004), which recommends industrial uses for this location. The proposed L-M, Limited Manufacturing District is consistent with the zoning and development patterns of the area, and with the land use recommendations of the South Central Accord.
