The site is within the boundaries of the Westland Area Plan (1994), which recommends “Industrial/Manufacturing” land uses at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018).

The limitation text includes development standards addressing landscaping and graphics provisions. The requested L-C-4, Limited Commercial District will allow a commercial development that is consistent with adjacent commercial developments. While the Westland Area Plan recommends “Industrial/Manufacturing” uses for the site, Staff recognizes that the site has been zoned commercial since 1994, and is developed with a former movie theatre. Additionally, in collaboration with the Planning Division, the applicant has incorporated C2P2 Design Guideline recommendations into the limitation text.
