Explanation
Rezoning Application Z18-078
APPLICANT: Indus Hotels; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Hotel and commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on February 14, 2019.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels, one developed with an office building and the other undeveloped, both in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The applicant requests a new CPD district to permit the existing office building to remain (Parcel A) and to permit the development of a hotel (Parcel B). The CPD text establishes use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address building and parking setbacks, traffic access and circulation, parking lot screening, graphics restrictions, and a commitment to develop the site in accordance with the submitted site plan. Variances to allow parking spaces and maneuvering to cross parcels lines, a reduction to the minimum number of required loading spaces, a reduction to the minimum number parking spaces required (Parcel B), an increase in the maximum number of parking spaces permitted (Parcel A), and a reduction in parking lot headlight screening, are all included in the request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Far East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “mixed-use 1” 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 land use recommendation and the development pattern along the East Broad Street corridor. Additionally, the variances to parking spaces, maneuvering, and minimum and maximum number of required parking spaces are minor and supportable because they are the result of maintaining the site as two separate parcels.
