Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z17-029
APPLICANT: Gloria E. Parker; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Parking lot.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on November 9, 2017.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and zoned in the R-1, Residential District. The proposed CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow a parking lot for a future office development to the north of the site. The CPD text commits to a site plan and includes development standards addressing setback requirements, traffic access, landscaping, and graphics provisions, and commits to a site plan. The site is located within the boundaries of the Northeast Area Plan (2007), which recommends “very low density residential” land uses for this location. Although the Plan recommends residential land uses, staff recognizes that the existing, adjoining CPD district will support new office development. Additional parking in this location is consistent with the established development pattern to the north. Furthermore, the CPD text includes carefully controlled development standards in consideration of adjacent residential uses.
Emergency Justification: To pass as emergency so property can be purchased by contract before the end of the year.
