Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z18-073
APPLICANT: Mark Waller; c/o Scott Surovjak, Atty.; 250 West Street, Suite 700; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Schools.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on March 14, 2019.
WESTLAND AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 43.48± acre site consists of a single parcel developed with a school that was split zoned for commercial and apartment development in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development and L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential districts prior to the construction of the school. The applicant proposes the I, Institutional District to develop an additional school on the site. The site is within the planning area of The Westland Plan (1994), which recommends “Residential (3-5 units per acre)” uses at this location. Staff finds that, despite the Plan’s low-density residential recommendation for this location, there is an existing school use on the site, and that additional associated institutional uses are supportable.
