APPLICANT: Adam Bates; c/o Bruce Harris, Agent.; 985 Schrock Road; Columbus, OH 43229.
PROPOSED USE: Library renovation and expansion.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on November 14, 2019.
GREATER HILLTOP AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 2.62 acre site is developed with the Columbus Metropolitan Library Hilltop branch and is zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. That CPD district established in 1995 permitted the construction of the library in accordance with a site plan. The applicant desires to renovate and expand the library and is requesting a new CPD district to accommodate the proposed improvements. This proposed CPD text and site plan establish appropriate use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address building setbacks, building height, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, landscaping, and parking lot screening. Additionally, variances for reduced parking lot and dumpster screening are included. The requested CPD district is consistent with the Hilltop Land Use Plan’s recommendation for institutional land uses at this location. The applicant has provided building renderings and has met with Planning Division staff to review the proposal. Staff requests, but does not condition support upon, the applicant continuing to have a dialogue with Planning Division staff on the potential for alternative materials, shingle patterns, or roof features that would avoid the proposed roof from being composed of a large expanse of dimensional shingles as recommended by Columbus Citywide Panning Policies (2018) Design Guidelines.
