Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z19-004
APPLICANT: Kathleen R. MacDonald; 177 Chasely Circle; Powell, OH 43065.
PROPOSED USE: Automotive maintenance and repair.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on March 14, 2019.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.35± acre site consists of a single parcel developed with an automotive maintenance and repair facility in the R-1, Residential District. Automotive maintenance and repair was previously a permitted use under CV98-001A, which also reduced the front setback to 28 feet, limited the building size to 2,400 square feet, required screening, M-2 graphics standards, and limited the variance to a length of five years. The applicant proposes the M, Manufacturing District to permit the existing use and allow uses compatible with neighboring parcels. The site is within the planning area of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends “employment center” uses at this location. Staff finds the proposed M, Manufacturing District uses compatible with neighboring parcels due to the limited size and scale of the site, establishing an appropriate zoning district for the existing automotive maintenance and repair use.
