Explanation
Rezoning Application Z20-023
APPLICANT: GEMCAP Development; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill & Hodge LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Auto repair facility and tire store.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-1) on August 13, 2020.
FAR WEST SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. The 1.11± acre site consists of two parcels, one undeveloped and one developed with a vacant commercial building, both zoned in the C-2, Commercial District.

The site is within the boundaries of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends office uses at this location. While the CPD text and site plan reflect efforts to screen and buffer the surrounding residential development, Staff believes that the Plan’s land use recommendation and the property’s current zoning provides a more appropriate use of the site, especially in consideration of the adjacent residential uses and noise emissions associated with the proposed use.
