Explanation

 

Rezoning Application Z18-085

 

APPLICANT: Alisha Hotel, LLC.; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, First Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, Second Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.

 

PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.

 

DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on March 14, 2019.

 

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION:  Approval.  The site consists of six parcels zoned in the R-1, Residential and CPD, Commercial Planned Development districts, two of which are developed with single-unit dwellings. The applicant proposes the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District to permit a hotel (Subarea A) and commercial development (Subarea B).  The site is located within the boundaries of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends “community commercial” uses for this location.  Within Subarea A, the CPD text establishes a hotel as the only permitted use and supplemental development standards that address height, access, landscaping, building design, and lighting controls. Variances are included to reduce the parking and building setback lines, reduce the minimum number of loading spaces required, and increase the permitted height of light poles. Within Subarea B, C-2, and limited C-3, Commercial District uses are proposed, and supplemental development standards are provided that address access, landscaping, building design, and lighting controls are provided. Variances are included to reduce the parking and building setback lines and increase the permitted height of light poles. The proposal is consistent with the recommendation of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan, includes aspects of Community Commercial Overlay standards, and is compatible with surrounding commercial development along the Renner Road corridor.
