Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-082
APPLICANT: Frederick F. Campbell, Catholic Diocese of Columbus; c/o Catherine A. Cunningham, Atty.; 65 East State Street, Suite 1800; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Ancillary school facilities.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on February 9, 2017.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels zoned in the ARLD, Apartment Residential District. One parcel is developed with a single-unit dwelling and the other with vacant commercial structures. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow the development of ancillary school facilities to the nearby St. Charles Preparatory School. The CPD text proposes schools and affiliated activities, including uses that support the mission of St. Charles Preparatory School; such as religious, education, charitable, and social assistance offices and facilities. Also included in the CPD text are development standards commitments to setbacks, site access, landscaping and screening, and a site plan. Additionally, variances for reduced building and parking setbacks, and landscaping and screening requirements are included. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain a land use recommendation for this location. While the intrusion of new non-residential uses into residential areas is discouraged in the Near East Plan, the plan also recognizes that intrusion may be appropriate depending on the type of development and site characteristics. The location of the proposed development is appropriate when considering the proximity to the school and their existing recreational facilities on the east side of the adjacent railroad tracks.
