Explanation
Rezoning Application Z20-027
APPLICANT: Dave Fox Remodeling; c/o Greg Reis; 3505 W. Dublin-Granville Road; Columbus, OH 43235.
PROPOSED USE: Expand parking lot for contractor’s office.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on August 13, 2020.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.9± acre site is developed with a contractor’s office in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District that is located within the Regional Commercial Overlay (RCO). The rezoning is necessary because the current CPD, Commercial Planned Development District (Z86-1137) limits parking by requiring a maximum of 34 parking spaces with a minimum setback of 90 feet from the centerline of West Dublin-Granville Road. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will reduce the parking setback and increase the maximum number of permitted parking spaces to accommodate a parking lot expansion. The CPD Text proposes C-4 Commercial District uses and includes development standards addressing setbacks and parking lot landscaping and screening. The text also includes a commitment to a site plan that reflects a new sidewalk and landscaping along the right-of-way. The site is within the planning area of The Northwest Plan (2016), which recommends “Mixed Use 2” at this location, a commercial classification with residential uses supported. The request remains consistent with this recommendation, and is compatible with the surrounding development pattern.
Title
To rezone 3505 W. DUBLIN-GRANVILLE RD. (43235), being 0.9± acres located on the south side of West Dublin-Granville Road, 180± feet west of Federated Boulevard, From: CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, To: CPD, Commercial Planned Development District and to declare an emergency (Rezoning #Z20-027)
Body
WHEREAS, application #Z20-027 is on file with the Department of Building and Zoning Services requesting rezoning of 0.9± acres from CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, to CPD, Commercial Planned Development District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will permit a parking lot expansion which includes sidewalk and landscaping improvements along West Dublin-Granville Road. The existing contractor’s office use is not changing, and remains consistent with the “Mixed Use 2”land use recommendation of The Northwest Plan; and
WHEREAS, an emergency exists in the usual daily operation in the City of Columbus in that it is immediately necessary to pass this ordinance due to the need to allow commencement of concrete and blacktop paving operations before end of season, which typically occurs mid-November. Time is needed to schedule contractor and install paving for parking expansion and sidewalk hard surfaces before the industry ceases operation for the season for the immediate preservation of the public peace, property, health and safety; now, therefore:
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:
