Rezoning Application Z11-022
APPLICANT: Community Properties of Ohio Management Services, LLC; c/o Thomas F. Kibbey, Atty.; 2000 Huntington Center, 41 South High Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Private parking lot.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on December 8, 2011.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a vacant office building and a dilapidated commercial structure in the AR-O, Apartment Residential Office District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, will allow the site to be redeveloped with a 60-space parking lot in accordance with the P-1, Private Parking District for the office building located at 910 East Broad Street. The site is located within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends medium to high density residential and office uses for East Broad Street, and includes design guidelines for new development. While the Plan discourages demolitions on East Broad Street, it notes the subject buildings as "intrusions" (non-contributing). Since the parking lot is for office uses along East Broad Street and contains commitments for metal fencing with brick piers and other favorable development standards, the request is supported.
