Explanation
Rezoning Application Z20-016
APPLICANT: GMD Holdings, LLC; c/o Michael Shannon and Eric Zartman, Attys.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Office development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on June 11, 2020.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.90± acre site is undeveloped and zoned in the R, Rural District as a result of a recent annexation from Perry Township. The applicant is requesting the C-2, Commercial District to allow the development of an office building. The site is within the boundaries of The Northwest Plan (2016) and is within the West Dublin-Granville Road Community Commercial Overlay. While the Plan recommends low density residential land uses at this location, the Plan also supports redevelopment proposals along primary corridors if the proposal is consistent with the intensities of surrounding uses and meets design principles. This proposal is compatible with the development pattern along this portion Dublin-Granville Road, and incorporates design elements that are consistent with the recommendations of the Plan. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #1486-2020; CV20-020) has been filed to reduce Community Commercial Overlay setback and building design standards for the proposed development.
