Explanation
Rezoning Application Z13-042
APPLICANT: TH Midwest, Inc.; c/o Christopher A. Rinehart, Atty.; Rinehart Legal Services, Ltd.; 300 East Broad Street, Suite 450; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Fuel sales and car wash in conjunction with convenience retail.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on November 14, 2013.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed a vacant restaurant and a parking lot, and is zoned in the L-C-4, Limited Commercial District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow the site to be redeveloped with a fuel sales facility and car wash in conjunction with convenience retail. The site is located within the planning area of the Northland Plan Volume I (2001), but it is not within a Subarea that gives land use recommendations. The site is also subject to The Northland Development Standards (1992), which recommend a thirty-foot landscaped setback (building and parking) along arterial streets as well as maximum lot coverage of 85%. Staff does not object to this proposal since the request does not represent a significant change in the existing conditions with respect to open space and setbacks. The CPD text commits to a site plan, and includes use restrictions, setbacks, maximum lot coverage, landscaping, outdoor display, and abandonment provisions. Variances for car wash stacking spaces, maneuvering over a parcel line, and maximum number of parking spaces are included in the request. The proposal is consistent with the established zoning and development patterns of the area.
