Explanation
Rezoning Application Z18-020
APPLICANT: Terry Traster; c/o Chris Vallette, Architect; 72 Mill Street; Gahanna, OH 43230.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on May 10, 2018.
NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is currently in a neglected state with an unmaintained parking lot. The existing CPD, Commercial Planned Development District permits only a parking lot. The applicant proposes to construct a new building to house an industrial kitchen and garage for the storage of food trucks. The applicant initially requested the M, Manufacturing District, but has since amended the request to the C-3, Commercial district in response to community and staff concerns about establishing manufacturing zoning in close proximity to residential uses. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1579-2018; CV18-012) is requested to permit the proposed industrial uses in accordance with a site plan while this proposed C-3 district which permits limited commercial uses will replace a CPD district that permits only a parking lot. The site is within the boundaries of the North Central Plan (2001), which recommends residential land uses at this location. Deviation from the Plan is warranted noting the existing commercial zoning of the property and the existing mixed uses in the immediate area.
