Explanation

 

Rezoning Application Z18-007

 

APPLICANT:  The Ohio State University; c/o Aaron L. Underhill, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; Columbus, OH 43054.

     

PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.

 

DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:  Approval (6-0) on May 10, 2018.

 

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION:  The 31.59± acre site is currently undeveloped and zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District (portions of Subareas 6 and 8 in Z05-054, portions of Subarea G-1 in Z16-038, and portions of Subarea G-2 in Z16-039). The existing CPD districts were approved without a specific use or user being known or identified, and the applicant has expressed interest in developing the site with ambulatory care, medical service uses, and medical and/or other office uses. The current CPD districts permit these uses; however, the zoning texts that apply to the site provide some ambiguities in terms of the development standards which would apply to these types of uses. The purpose of this rezoning is to clarify and update the development standards in the context of these uses while generally retaining the same standards as they apply to other permitted uses. The subject site is known as Subarea K. The CPD text allows uses permitted in the C-4, Commercial District with several restrictions, and includes provisions for height limits, setback requirements, and development standards that provide compatibility with adjacent properties. The CPD Plan depicts setbacks and site access. Variances for reduced setbacks, to allow parking lots to be divided by parcel lines, for increased light pole height, and for sign base requirements are included in the request. The site is located within the boundaries of the Northland Plan, Volume II (2002), which recommends mixed-use development for this location.  The permitted uses of this CPD are consistent with this recommendation, and the provisions of the CPD text will ensure that future development is compatible with adjacent properties.
