Rezoning Application Z17-019
APPLICANT: Brian Daniel; c/o Sean Mentel, Atty.; 100 South Fourth Street, Suite 100; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Eating and drinking establishment.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (3-1) on September 14th, 2017.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is currently developed with a nonconforming bar and patio and a single-unit dwelling with a detached garage zoned in the R-2, Residential District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will permit the conversion of the first floor of the dwelling into a restaurant with outdoor dining while maintaining the bar, patio, and parking lot. The patio for the existing bar was approved under a Special Permit (BZA15-122). The site is within the planning area of the Scioto Southland Plan (2007), which recommends “mixed-use regional commercial” uses for this location. The CPD text commits to use restrictions, setbacks, traffic access, buffering and screening, and a site plan. The proposal also includes variances to reduce the minimum required number of parking spaces, and to carry over existing nonconforming conditions for landscaping and screening while supplementing the landscaping as shown on the site plan. With the landscaping proposed, the request is consistent with the zoning and development pattern of the area.
