Explanation
Rezoning Application Z19-011
APPLICANT: Brian Gibson; 2299 Performance Way; Columbus, OH 43207.
PROPOSED USE: Industrial uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on July 11, 2019.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel developed with heavy equipment sales and storage in the RRR, Restricted Rural Residential, M-1, Manufacturing, and L-M-2, Limited Manufacturing districts. This location is the subject of zoning code violation number 18470-08558 for establishing outdoor storage uses in the RRR district without obtaining a Certificate of Zoning Clearance. The requested M-2, Manufacturing District will allow the outdoor storage and rental or sales of heavy equipment and machinery and other less objectionable manufacturing uses. The site is within the planning area of the South Alum Creek Neighborhood Plan (2004), which recommends “institutional, office, and warehouse” uses for the majority of the site and “single-family residential” uses for the south eastern portion of the site. Staff supports the proposed M-2 uses despite the Plan’s land use recommendation for residential uses on a portion of the site as it is consistent with the surrounding development pattern on Performance Way. The project also includes a concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #2464-2019; CV19-009) to vary required surface for parking and to reduce open storage setbacks. The Council variance also includes a site plan that provides landscaping, buffering, and screening along the southeastern portion of the parcel where it abuts residential properties.
