Rezoning Application Z16-047
APPLICANT: Brexton; c/o Melanie Wollenberg, Agent; 815 Grandview Avenue; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial shopping center.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on October 13, 2016.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 4.54± acre site consists of a single parcel, developed with a shopping center, and zoned in the R, Rural District as a result of a recent annexation from Orange Township. The applicant is requesting the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District as a comparable request from the PC, Planned Commercial and Office District from said Township. The CPD text includes commitments to prohibit uses, and proposes development standards that conform the existing site design as per the submitted site plan, with signage provisions for a joint complex tenant panel. The site is located within the boundaries of the Far North Area Plan (2014) which recommends “Community Commercial” for this location. Staff has determined that the requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District is comparable to the township zoning, is necessary to limit potential uses while conforming the existing shopping center, and is compatible with surrounding development patterns.
