Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z19-029
APPLICANT: Swenson’s Drive-In Restaurants; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054
PROPOSED USE: Drive-in restaurant.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on May 9, 2019.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site has remained undeveloped since it was zoned to the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District for fuel sales and commercial development in 2013. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will remove fuel sales as a permitted use and provides for a drive-in restaurant on a portion of the site while enhancing previously negotiated buffering commitments along abutting residential properties to the north and to the east. The site is within the planning area of the Northland Plan Volume II (2002) which recommends “Preserve District” for this location, calling for a mix of single and multi-unit residential development with some commercial uses. No specific land use guidelines apply to this site, however, Staff is supportive of commercial uses at this location given the existing development pattern of this commercial corridor. The CPD text commits to a site plan and includes development standards addressing site access, landscaping, building design, lighting, and graphics provisions. A variance to increase the maximum number of parking spaces from 35 permitted to 65 provided is included in this request and is supported given the nature of the proposed use. With the commitments within the CPD Plan and text, the request is compatible with the established zoning and development pattern of the area.
