Explanation
Rezoning Application Z15-049
APPLICANT: Preferred Real Estate Investments II, LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial or industrial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on January 14, 2016.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. This site is currently undeveloped and is zoned R, Rural District as the result of a recent annexation from Prairie Township. The applicant proposes the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District to allow future commercial or industrial development, and plans to develop the site with an extended-stay hotel. The limitation text restricts permitted uses to those allowed in the C-4, Commercial District and less objectionable uses of the M, Manufacturing district, and provides commitments for screening, landscaping, and lighting.

This classification emphasizes business and professional offices, light industrial operations, and visitor service establishments, with retail only as a secondary use. While the proposed L-M, Limited Manufacturing District would permit uses associated with this recommendation, staff objects to the potential for retail or extended stay hotel uses allowed by the limitation text.
