Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z17-044
APPLICANT: Benderson Development Co. LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Limited manufacturing or industrial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on January 11, 2018.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This site is developed with a parking lot used for a former shopping center in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The applicant requests the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District to allow for construction of four warehouses / flex space buildings. The Limitation Text commits to less objectionable M, Manufacturing uses, specifically office warehouse uses, self-storage units, and related accessory uses. The text commits to a site plan and includes development standards addressing setback requirements, traffic access, buffering, and lighting. The site is within the boundaries of the Brice-Tussing Plan (1990), which recommends “Commercial” land uses for this location. While the Plan recommends commercial uses at this site, more recent planning efforts including the Brice-Tussing Market Study (2015) and the draft Far East Area Plan view this area as having potential for light industrial, warehouse, or employment center activities. Additionally, the limited manufacturing uses can be supported because the use is compatible with the density and development standards of adjacent industrial developments.
