Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-072
APPLICANT: 3500 ACD, LLC; c/o Deanna R. Cook, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Limited commercial or industrial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on February 9, 2017.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed as a former vocational school in the R-1, Residential District. The applicant proposes to rezone the site to the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District, proposing offices for professional, scientific, and technical services, educational facilities, automobile/truck maintenance and repair facilities, and limited industrial uses, including a contractor’s storaghye yard. The limitation text provides use restrictions and commitments for buffering, screening, and parkland dedication ordinance obligations. The site is located within the boundaries of the South Alum Creek Neighborhood Plan (2004), which recommends “Institutional” land uses for this location in recognition of the previous use. Deviation from the plan recommendation can be supported because the intended uses are not a complete departure from the activities that occurred when the property was being used as a vocational school. Additionally, the limited industrial uses, such as warehouse and storage of construction and building materials, can be supported due to the industrial nature of the corridor.
