APPLICANT: Pet Palace; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Pet daycare, grooming, and kennel.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on February 14, 2019.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel developed with an commercial building zoned in the L-C-4, Limited Commercial District. The applicant proposes the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District to allow C-4 district uses, including pet daycare and related uses. The limitation text establishes use restrictions, M, Manufacturing District development standards, and Regional Commercial Overlay (RCO) graphics standards. In conjunction with this rezoning, the applicant has filed a Board of Zoning Adjustment variance and special permit application (BZA18-155) to permit outdoor animal runs, and to reduce the required number of parking and loading spaces and the building setback. The site is subject to the Sawmill Road RCO and is within the planning area of The Northwest Plan (2016), which recommends “commercial” uses at this location. Staff supports limited uses in this area as the proposal is consistent with The Northwest Plan’s recommendation and compatible with the commercial developments along the Sawmill Road corridor.
