Explanation
Rezoning Application Z17-049
APPLICANT: Mike Baumann Plumbing, Inc.; c/o Michael T. Shannon, Atty.; 500 South Front Street, Suite 1200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Warehouse and storage establishment.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on February 8, 2018.
SOUTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel developed with an office and kennel, previously utilized by Pilot Dogs Inc., and zoned R-3, Residential District. The applicant requests the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District to use the site as a warehouse and storage establishment. The site is located within the boundaries of the Southwest Area Plan (2009), which recommends office uses for this location. The proposed L-M district restricts the uses on the site to less objectionable uses in the M, Manufacturing District and office uses of the C-2, Commercial District. In addition, the text limits office uses to a maximum of 87,000 square feet. While the proposal is not completely consistent with the land use recommendations of the Southwest Area Plan, staff supports the request as the Planning Division has determined that it does not add incompatible uses to the area since retail commercial uses will not be permitted.
