Rezoning Application Z13-035
APPLICANT: The Ellis Company, Ltd.; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; Smith and Hale LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on August 8, 2013.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested L-C-4, Limited Commercial District, will allow unspecified commercial development, including the construction of a hotel. The site is located within the planning area of the Northland Plan Volume 1 (2001), and while there are no specific land use recommendations for the area, the Plan includes guidelines for undeveloped land located in commercial areas and development sites with freeway exposure. The site plan requires the development to be located in the southeast quadrant of the site, away from the single-unit subdivision to the northwest. The development also establishes a Do Not Disturb Zone to preserve an existing tree line in further consideration of the adjacent residential uses and includes additional commitments that address lot coverage, street trees along Interstate 270, pedestrian connection, and lighting controls. Staff believes the request is compatible with adjacent residential, commercial, and institutional uses, and complies with guidelines in the Northland Plan Volume I.
