Explanation
Rezoning Amendment: Z87-1389A
Ordinance #2297-87, passed November 2, 1987 (Z87-1389), rezoned 1.63± acres at 725 Bellows Avenue to the L-C-2, Limited Commercial District for an office building. That rezoning established specific development standards addressing fencing requirements and site access, with the required access point actually located in the right-of-way of State Route 315. The Ohio Department of Transportation will not permit the site access as required by the limitation text, and so this amendment provides alternative access points for the property. Additionally, the limitation text requires a chain link fence on the boundary of the site, and this amendment provides for a decorative wrought iron or aluminum fence. This ordinance amends the limitation text established by Ordinance #2297-87 to incorporate revised fencing and access provisions and to replace the site plan. All other aspects of Ordinance #2297-87 remain in effect and are included in this amendment.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
