Rezoning Application Z17-007
APPLICANT: Prospect Wango, LLC; c/o Michael T. Shannon and Eric J. Zartman, Attys.; 500 South Front Street, Suite 1200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on June 8, 2017.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, and is developed with a shopping center, three free-standing eating and drinking establishments, and a gasoline sales facility. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will permit redevelopment of the site with a new 122,422 square foot shopping center with 275 dwelling-units located above while maintaining the free-standing eating and drinking establishments and gasoline sales facility. The site lies within the boundaries of the Olentangy West Area Plan (2013), which recommends community mixed-uses at this location. Additionally, the site is within the boundaries of the Olentangy River Road Regional Commercial Overlay. The CPD text includes provisions for permitted uses, building height, maximum number of dwelling units, parking setbacks, vehicular access, buffering and landscaping, pedestrian connectivity, and commits to a site plan. A variance to conform existing zero-foot parking setbacks along Harley Drive, Ackerman Road, and Old Ackerman Road is included. The redevelopment of the site into a new shopping center with residential units above is consistent with the Plan’s recommendation and is compatible with the surrounding development pattern along Olentangy River Road. The commitments for pedestrian connectivity from the shopping center to the existing multi-use trail along Olentangy River Road, and augmented buffering along the frontage of the site bring the development more in compliance with the regional commercial overlay development standards.
