Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z18-034
APPLICANT: GBS Gender LLC, c/o Sean Mentel; 100 South Fourth Street, Suite 100; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on September 13, 2018.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with an unfinished single-story commercial building in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. A portion of the site is undeveloped and zoned in the PUD-8, Planned Unit Development District. The applicant is requesting the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District to permit retail and restaurant uses without including a second story residential component as required the current CPD district (Z96-049A). At the time the site was originally zoned, it was part of a proposal that was intended to be an example of Traditional Neighborhood Development, which was still being drafted and established as part of the Zoning Code. The proposed CPD district retains all aspects of the original CPD, except for the requirement that there be a second story residential component over commercial uses. The site is located within the boundaries of the South East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Mixed Use 1” land uses at this location. The development text commits to a site plan and includes development standards addressing setbacks, site access, landscaping, and building design. The provisions provided for building design and landscaping are consistent with the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) design guidelines, and the proposal is also consistent with the land use recommendations of the South East Land Use Plan.
