Explanation
Rezoning Application Z92-058A
Ordinance #2516-92 (Z92-058), passed December 7, 1992, rezoned 127.06+ acres from the R, Rural, R-2, Residential and L-C-4, Limited Commercial Districts, to the L-R, Limited Rural, L-C-3, Limited Commercial, L-C-4, Limited Commercial, L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential, L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential and CPD, Commercial Planned Development Districts. That legislation permits commercial and residential development having specific development standards in accordance with a registered subarea plan and development text that addressed permitted uses, access, setbacks, and other customary design commitments.This legislation will amend Ordinance #2516-92 (Z92-058), passed December 7, 1992, by repealing the development text in Section 3 and replacing it with a new development text thereby modifying the L-C-4 text for Subarea 2 to remove a maximum height restriction of 28 feet for parking lot lighting. While Section 3321.03 of the Columbus City Code still limits the maximum height for parking lot lighting to 28 feet, this amendment will allow the applicant to request a variance from the Board of Zoning Adjustment to permit the installation of light poles greater than 28 feet in height. The Building and Zoning Services Staff approves of the amendment. No other provisions of the ordinance are being changed.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
