Explanation
Rezoning Application Z15-017
APPLICANT: The Stonehenge Company, c/o Dave Perry, David Perry Company, Inc; 145 East Rich Street, 3rd Floor; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial development including retail fuel sales.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on June 11, 2015.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a single-unit dwelling, and is zoned in the R, Rural District as a result of a recent annexation from Plain Township. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow for commercial development of retail fuel sales in conjunction with two commercial strip centers. The site is located within the planning area of the Northland Plan - Volume II (2002), which does not contain a specific land use recommendation for the site, but does recommend that existing land use and zoning patterns be taken into consideration when decisions are made regarding zoning changes. Staff supports the proposal as the adjacent retail center will buffer the fuel sales facility from the residential uses to the east, and because appropriate use restrictions and development limitations are set forth in the CPD text. The CPD text also commits to a site plan. The proposed development is consistent with existing land use and zoning patterns, considering the site’s location along a major commercial corridor.
