Explanation
Rezoning Application Z11-023
APPLICANT: Donald J. Compton & Anna B. Compton, Trustees; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; Smith and Hale; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Warehouse or office uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on April 12, 2012.
NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant's requested rezoning to the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District is not consistent with the recommendation of the North Central Plan (2002), which proposes single-unit residential land uses for the site. However, Staff recognizes the presence of the existing Manufacturing zoning to the north which was established in 1972, and the Manufacturing zoning approximately 215 feet to the south established in 1928 and the nonconforming industrial use to the south across the alley. With the proposed limitations, this proposal strikes the right balance by allowing this property to be used for low impact warehousing and office uses while protecting the residences of the area.
Title
To rezone 812 MANSFIELD AVENUE (43219), being 0.23± acres located on the east side Mansfield Avenue, 145± feet north of Bliss Street, From: R, Rural District, To: L-M, Limited Manufacturing District. (Rezoning # Z11-023).
Body
WHEREAS, application #Z11-023 is on file with the Building and Zoning Services Department requesting rezoning of 0.23± acres from R, Rural District, to L-M, Limited Manufacturing District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the North Central Area Commission recommends disapproval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because Staff recognizes the presence of the existing Manufacturing zoning to the north which was established in 1972, and the Manufacturing zoning approximately 215 feet to the south established in 1928 and the nonconforming industrial use to the south across the alley. While the applicant's requested rezoning to the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District is not consistent with the recommendation of the North Central Plan (2002), which proposes single-unit residential land uses for the site, with the proposed limitations, this proposal strikes the right balance by allowing this property to be used for low impact warehousing and office uses while protecting the residences of the area, now, and
