Explanation
Rezoning Application Z12-008
APPLICANT: Spirit Master Funding LLC c/o Hope Sherman; 4200 Regent Street; Suite 200; Columbus, OH 43219
PROPOSED USE: Commercial use.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on March 8, 2012.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested C-3, Commercial District would allow more commercial uses at the site. Staff finds the current zoning to be far too limiting as it permits only restaurant use. The requested C-3, Commercial District would allow a broader range of uses. Furthermore, the current limitation text contains no design standards while the new updated Zoning Code has landscaping, parking lot landscaping and lighting standards that encompass more than the current limitation text. The proposal is consistent with the land use recommendation of the Livingston East Area Plan (2009), which calls for commercial development on the site. Based on these considerations, Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be compatible with the surrounding development and zoning pattern of the area.
