Explanation
Rezoning Application Z14-057
APPLICANT: Mouth of Wilson LLC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; Smith and Hale LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Expansion of retail garden center.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on March 12, 2015.
WESTLAND AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant’s request for an L-C-4, Limited Commercial District and proposal to expand the existing garden retail center would allow the site to be developed in a manner consistent and compatible with surrounding uses. The Westland Area Plan (1994) recommends office uses, however the existing CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, is tied to a site plan for a car wash. It is unlikely that a car wash will be developed on this site since it is directly adjacent to another car wash development. Furthermore, the proposed expansion of the retail garden center is no more intense than the car wash that is allowed under the existing zoning. The limitation text includes permitted uses, provisions for access, outdoor retail sales, and street trees. With the limitations proposed, the request remains consistent with the zoning and development patterns of the area.
