Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z17-022
APPLICANT: LeVeck Commercial Construction and Development; c/o Christopher Cline, Atty.; 300 West Wilson Bridge Road, Number 100; Worthington, OH 43085.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval (0-4) on September 14, 2017.
SOUTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. The site consists of two undeveloped parcels zoned in the R, Rural District. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will allow development of a self-storage facility. The proposed limitation text restricts the use of the property to a self-storage facility, and includes commitments to building setbacks, building height, traffic access, buffering and screening, lighting, and building materials. The request also includes a commitment to develop the site as shown on the submitted site plan. The Southwest Area Plan (2009) recommends medium-low density residential land uses at this location and further states that non-residential uses are not appropriate in existing residential areas. While the limitation text and site plan reflect efforts to screen and buffer the surrounding single-unit dwellings, Staff believes that a self-storage facility at this location is not compatible with the residential and rural character of the area.
