Explanation
Rezoning Application Z13-032
APPLICANT: ENT Investments-Bethel Surgery Ltd.; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 145 East Rich St., 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Medical office expansion.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on June 13, 2013.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a 15,000± square-foot medical office building zoned in the L-C-2, Limited Commercial District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District text will update the development text to allow a maximum 7,290± square-foot addition and expansion of the parking lot. The current L-C-2 text requires an 80-foot setback from the north property line. This proposal reduces that requirement, making it more consistent with abutting commercial developments. The CPD text proposes C-2, Office Commercial uses, commits to a site plan, and includes development standards addressing setbacks, maximum building height, landscaping, screening, and exterior building commitments. A minimum 43-foot wide buffer/tree preservation area will be maintained along the north property line. A variance to maximum number of parking spaces is included in the request to allow 1 parking space per 163 square feet as opposed to the 1 per 200 square feet limit (111 maximum permitted, 137 proposed). With the proposed commitments within the CPD plan and text, the request is compatible with the adjacent single-unit residences, and the established zoning and development pattern of the area.
