APPLICANT: City of Columbus; c/o Steven Alvarez, Department of Finance and Management; 90 West Broad Street, Room 425; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Parking lot.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on June 8, 2017.
GREATER HILLTOP AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is currently undeveloped and zoned in the NG, Neighborhood General District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will permit a parking lot expansion for the Columbus West Family Health and Wellness Center. The site is located within the boundaries of the Greater Hilltop Plan Amendment (2010), which recommends “Institutional” and “Med-High Density Mixed Residential” land uses for this location. The CPD text includes commitments to P-1 permitted uses, parking setbacks, access, buffering and landscaping, and a site plan. A variance to reduce landscaping and screening along the south property line adjacent to an existing electrical substation is included in this request. Staff supports this request as it will provide needed parking for the Columbus West Family Health and Wellness Center. Further, the proposed parking lot trees and street trees are consistent with the Plan’s recommendation to provide sufficient screening between residential and non-residential uses.
