Rezoning Application Z19-018
APPLICANT: Kelley Companies; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, First Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Michael Kelley, Atty.; 250 East Broad Street, Suite 1100; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0-1) on August 8, 2019.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 1.35± acre site consists of one parcel developed with a historic school building in the R-2F, Residential District. The applicant requests the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, to repurpose the site for C-1 neighborhood scale commercial and limited C-3 community scale commercial uses, including office, fitness, retail, and eating and drinking establishment uses. The CPD text establishes use restrictions and supplemental development standards, includes commitments to a site plan and parkland dedication, and contains variances that both reflect current conditions on site, and will conform the proposed parking space numbers and configuration. While the University District Plan (2015) recommends institutional land uses at this location, the Plan does provide provisions for the redevelopment of former institutional sites in residential areas. Staff notes that the school building is a contributing structure of architectural significance to the neighborhood. The proposed CPD district includes the rehabilitation and reuse of a contributing building, establishes appropriate commercial uses, includes preservation of natural resources on the western side of the property, and will be developed in accordance with the submitted site plan.
