APPLICANT: Eastpointe Christian Church; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Update to development standards for a religious facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on February 14, 2019.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 17.21± acre site is developed with a religious facility and zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The applicant is requesting a new CPD district to update current development standards to permit expansion of the religious facility. The CPD text establishes use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address building and parking setbacks, parking requirements, graphics restrictions, and includes a commitment to develop the site in accordance with the submitted site plan. Additionally, a variance to reduce the minimum number of required parking spaces by adjusting the parking ratios is included in the text. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Far East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “institutional” land uses at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes complete adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) design guidelines. The proposed use is consistent with the Plan’s recommendation, while the updated development standards and parking variance are appropriate for the use.
