Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z16-067
APPLICANT: Columbus Storage Developers, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 423 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor 1; Columbus, OH 43215, and Donald Plank, Atty.; 423 411East Town Street, 2nd Floor 2; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (7-0) on January 12, 2017.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and zoned in the C-1, Commercial, and R-1, Residential districts, and lies within the Regional Commercial Overlay (RCO). The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will permit a self-storage facility with related truck rental and packing supply sales. The limitation text proposes only self-storage and related accessory uses, and commits to increased setbacks, access restrictions, tree preservation, a site plan, and signage that will be compliant with RCO standards. The site is within the planning area of the Livingston East Area Plan (2009), which recommends “Mixed Use” for this location, which includes office and multi-unit residential development. While not consistent with the Plan recommendation, the Planning Division supports the proposed self-storage facility because a retail use has been developed on part of the C-1 district since the Plan was adopted, which limits the site’s potential use for office. Furthermore, self-storage will serve as a use that will have minimal negative impacts on the nearby residential development, and the stream corridor will be preserved. The applicant has also incorporated graphics provisions to ensure that the Regional Commercial Overlay development pattern along East Livingston Avenue will be continued.
