Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z18-035
APPLICANT: ZG Barthman 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 October 11, 2018.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.39± acre site consists of two parcels, one developed with a commercial building housing a security business permitted by Council Variance #CV15-057, the other undeveloped, and both zoned in the R-3, Residential District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will permit additional commercial uses, second floor apartment units, and a parking lot. The CPD text allows uses permitted in the C-1, Commercial District and security services. The text includes provisions for building setback, dumpster placement, and a commitment to a site plan. Variances to reduce screening and the required number of parking spaces from 34 to 9 are included in this request. The site is located within the planning area of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “Neighborhood Mixed Use” at this location, allowing for commercial uses with the inclusion of higher-density residential uses. Staff finds that the proposed CPD, Commercial Planned Development District is consistent with the land use recommendations of the South Side Plan, and is compatible with the surrounding development. The repurposing of a former industrial building into a mixed-use development is more compatible with adjacent residential uses which warrant support for the requested variances as well.
