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 site is located within the planning area of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends employment center uses for this location. 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.
