Explanation
Rezoning Application Z17-043
APPLICANT: NRFC Easton Holdings, LLC c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial office and parking development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on February 14, 2019.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 15.45± acre site includes one parcel developed with an office building in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, and two undeveloped parcels in the R-1, Residential District. The applicant is proposing a new CPD district to permit the development of additional parking for the existing office building. The CPD text establishes use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address building and parking setbacks, specific building height limitations, traffic access to the site, preservation of existing vegetation, landscaping, street trees, lighting controls, loading space location, graphics restrictions, and includes a commitment to develop the site in accordance with the submitted site plans. Variances to allow parking spaces and maneuvering to cross parcel lines and to increase the maximum number of parking spaces permitted are included in the CPD text. The site is within the boundaries of the Northeast Area Plan (2007), which recommends “Office” land uses on the southern two parcels and “Low Density Residential” land uses on the northernmost parcel. The variances to allow the development to exceed the maximum number of parking spaces permitted, and to allow parking spaces and maneuvering to cross parcel lines, are all supportable. The proposal is consistent with Plan’s land use recommendation for “Office” uses for two of the parcels, is compatible to the existing development along Stelzer Road, and includes appropriate height limitations and screening from adjacent residential uses.
