Rezoning Application: Z19-042
APPLICANT: HP Hayden Run Enterprises, LLC; c/o Aaron Firstenberger, Atty.; 575 South Third Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Veterinary clinic or unspecified commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0-1) on August 8, 2019.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling that is zoned R, Rural District as a result of a recent annexation from Washington Township. The applicant proposes the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District to permit a veterinary clinic along with C-4 district uses on the site. The CPD text establishes C-4, Commercial District uses and supplemental development standards that address Community Commercial Overlay setbacks, access, landscaping and buffering, building design, and graphics, as well as a site plan commitment. Variances to building setback and C-4 district development limitations for the separation between veterinarian outdoor therapeutic exercise areas and residential districts are included in the request. The site is within the planning area of the Interim Hayden Run Corridor Plan (2004), which recommends “neighborhood center” at this location. Additionally, this site is within a planning area that has adopted the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018) which recommends Community Commercial Overlay standards. Staff finds the proposal is consistent with the recommendations of the Plan and Guidelines, and is compatible with the existing multi-unit residential and proposed commercial developments that are adjacent to the site.
