Explanation
Rezoning Application Z15-035
APPLICANT: Fountech; c/o Jeffrey L. LaValley; 2976 Lazar Road; Grove City, OH 43213.
PROPOSED USE: Contractor’s office and storage.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on July 14, 2016.
SOUTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned R, Rural District, and consists of two parcels occupied with a contractor’s yard, storage buildings, and a single-unit dwelling that was converted to a contractor’s office. The use of the property was established without a Certificate of Zoning Clearance and a notice of Zoning Code violation was issued by the Code Enforcement Division of the Department of Development. The requested L-M-2, Limited Manufacturing District, will establish a zoning district that permits the use of the property. The site is within the planning area of the Southwest Area Plan (2009), which recommends low density residential uses for this location. Staff recognizes that the subject site is adjacent to properties zoned manufacturing, and supports deviation from the Plan’s land use recommendations for this proposal as it contains appropriate use restrictions and development standards addressing setbacks, screening, and tree preservation. Concurrent Council variance (Ordinance # 2255-2017; CV16-049) has been filed to conform existing site conditions for driveway width and gravel surface.
