Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z18-072
APPLICANT: RCG Ventures, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, First Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, Second Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage and commercial uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-1) on January 10, 2019.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel developed with a vacant grocery store and fuel sales facility zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The applicant proposes the L-M, Limited Manufacturing and CPD, Commercial Planned Development districts to allow a self-storage facility and limited commercial uses on the site within three subareas. The development text establishes use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address building height, access, parking, buffering and screening, dumpster location, and graphics. A variance for reduced building setback is also requested for the commercial subareas to to be consistent with the Regional Commercial Overlay (RCO) setback standards. The site is within the planning area of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends “regional mixed use” at this location. The Plan also recommends that RCO standards apply along the Dublin-Granville corridor with additional considerations on signage. While self-storage is inconsistent with the Northland I Area Plan’s “regional mixed use” recommendation, staff finds the use supportable given the commercial outparcels along the frontage of East Dublin-Granville Road that include RCO standards. The proposal includes a development text that provides signage standards and limitations on signage height, a site plan with elements that are consistent with the Plan’s recommendations, and development that is compatible with commercial uses along the East Dublin-Granville Road corridor.
