Explanation
Rezoning Application Z18-029
APPLICANT: BT OH LLC; c/o Thaddeus M. Boggs; 10 West Broad Street, Suite 2300; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Parking to serve adjacent industrial uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on June 14, 2018.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel zoned in the R, Rural District. The applicant proposes the M-2, Manufacturing District to expand the parking lot for the adjacent industrial use to the west. Because the parcel cannot be combined with the adjacent industrial parcel, a Council variance (Ordinance # 1980-2018; CV18-030) is also being sought to allow parking as a primary use in the M-2, Manufacturing District and to reduce parking setback, maneuvering, and parking lot landscaping requirements. The site is located within the boundaries of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends “light industrial” uses for this location. While the intended use requires a Council variance, staff finds the proposed parking consistent with the Plan’s recommendation and with established zoning and development patterns in the area.
