Explanation
Rezoning Application Z15-013
APPLICANT: Byers Realty LLC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Smith & Hale; 37 West Broad Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Expanded vehicle display area for an existing automobile dealership.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-1) on June 11, 2015.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with an automobile dealership in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow additional retail display area and parking while preserving a 125 foot landscaped parking setback to match the setback for the automobile dealership to the west. The proposal contains development standards in consideration of the residential properties to the north; however, it is unlikely that future requests for display area expansion with less than a 125 foot setback will be supported for this or any other dealerships in the vicinity as long as the north side of Billingsley Road is developed with residential uses. This proposal was first submitted as Ordinance # 1752-2015, which was tabled by City Council on July 27, 2015, and September 21, 2015. That ordinance was amended once, and was to be amended a second time to correct attachment files and incorporate additional commitments for mounding, landscaping, lighting controls, and transport details into the proposal. This ordinance reflects all necessary corrections and additional commitments, and replaces Ordinance # 1752-2015, which will be defeated.
