Explanation
Rezoning Application Z18-066
APPLICANT: Jon St. Julian; c/o Brent D. Rosenthal, Atty.; 366 East Broad Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Manufacturing uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on March 14, 2019.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel developed with a heavy equipment sales / service facility in the RRR, Restricted Rural Residential, M-1, Manufacturing, and L-M, Limited Manufacturing districts. The requested M-2, Manufacturing District will bring the zoning in line with the industrial uses currently occurring on the site. A Board of Zoning Adjustment application (BZA15-079) was approved to vary Section 3312.43, Required surface for parking, to permit gravel surface for a parking lot per an approved site plan for which zoning clearance was granted. However, that plan did not accurately portray the nature in which the parcel was then developed for the storage of heavy equipment. The storage areas to the south of the property do not comply with required setbacks and also utilize property zoned in the RRR, Restricted Rural Residential District. The site is within the planning area of the South Alum Creek Neighborhood Plan (2004), which recommends “institutional, office, and warehouse” and “single-family residential” uses at this location. The requested M-2, Manufacturing District would permit less objectionable manufacturing uses on the site. Staff supports the proposed M-2 uses despite the Plan’s land use recommendations for residential uses on a portion of the site as it is consistent with surrounding development patterns on Performance Way. The project also includes a concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1407-2019; CV18-090) to reduce parking and open storage setbacks. The Council variance also includes a site plan that addresses landscaping and buffering along the eastern portion of the parcel where it abuts residential properties.
