APPLICANT: Germain Lexus of Easton, c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Automobile service center.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (3-0-1) on March 10, 2016.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel that is currently undeveloped, with the exception of two billboards, zoned in the R, Rural District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District would allow for the development of an automobile service center. The CPD text allows for all uses permitted in the C-4, Commercial District plus an accessory car wash, and includes commitments for reduced setbacks along Morse Road, landscaping provisions, building design, and dumpster screening. Variances for district setback lines, reduced stacking spaces, and elimination of required by-pass lane for the accessory car wash are included in the text. The applicant will develop the site in accordance with the provided site plan and building elevations. The site is located within the planning area of the Northeast Area Plan (2007), which recommends high density residential uses at this location. The Planning Division recognizes that the proposed CPD, Commercial Planned Development District matches the existing commercial development of the adjacent properties along the southern side of Morse Road, and supports deviation from the Plan’s recommendation.
