Explanation
Rezoning Amendment Z19-034A
Ordinance #2603-2019, passed October 28, 2019 (Z19-034), rezoned 0.95± acres located at the northeast corner of Cleveland Avenue and Gibbard Avenue from the R-4, Residential District and C-4, Commercial District to the CPD Commercial Planned Development District for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Ohio daycare facility and parking lot.

I. Introduction.
The subject property (“Site”) is approximately 0.95 acres located north-east of the intersection of Cleveland Avenue and Gibbard Avenue. The Site was rezoned in October 2019 by Ord. 2603-2019 to permit the development of a new Boys and Girls Club and administrative offices for the Boys and Girls Club of Central Ohio.
Since the adoption of the ordinance, it has been discovered that the southeast corner of the building must be modified to increase the maximum building line. The purpose of this amendment is to revise the CPD Plan and the corresponding CPD Text accordingly.
Below are the limitation and development standards proposed by the Applicant to accommodate the proposed development and ensure that it is appropriate for the area.
II. Permitted Uses:
1. The permitted uses of Subarea A shall be those uses contained in Section 3356.03, C-4, Permitted Uses of the Columbus City Code. The permitted uses of Subarea B shall be parking for Subarea A.
III. Development Standards:
1. Except as otherwise listed herein or depicted on the CPD Plan, the development standards shall be those contained in Chapter 3356, C-4, Regional Scale Commercial District and, where applicable, Chapter 3372, Urban Commercial Overlay of the Columbus City Codes shall apply.
A. Density, Height, Lot and/or Setback Requirements:
1. The maximum building setback in Subarea A from Cleveland Avenue shall be 18 feet and from Gibbard Avenue shall be 58 feet.
2. The minimum parking setback in Subarea B from Gibbard Avenue shall be 5 feet.
3. The maximum building height shall be 35 feet.
B. Access, Loading, Parking and/or other Traffic Related Commitments:
1. Access shall be as shown on the CPD Plan.
2. The total development shall provide a minimum of 21 parking spaces.
C. Buffering, Landscaping, Open Space and/or Screening Commitments:
1. The buffering and landscaping shall be as shown on the CPD Plan, and shall not be required on the eastern boundary of Subarea A and the northern boundary of Subarea B.
D. Building, Design and/or Interior-Exterior Treatment Commitments:
1. The development shall be designed as detailed on the attached Building Elevations.
E. Dumpsters, Lighting, Outdoor Areas and/or other Environmental Commitments:
1. Not applicable.
F. Graphic and Signage Commitments:
1. All graphics and signage shall comply with the Graphics Code, Article 15, Title 33 of the Columbus City Code as applicable to the C4, Commercial District and Chapter 3372 as applicable to the Urban Commercial Overlay. Any variance to those requirements will be submitted to the Columbus Graphics Commission for consideration.
G. Miscellaneous Commitments:
1. The Site shall be developed in accordance with the submitted CPD Plan titled, “Zoning Site Plan for Boys and Girls Club,” and Building Elevations titled, “Exterior Elevations”. These plans may be slightly adjusted to reflect engineering, topographical, or other site development data developed at the time the development and engineering plans are completed. Any slight adjustment to the Rezoning Plan shall be subject to review and approval by the Director of Building and Zoning Services or a designee, upon submission of appropriate data regarding the proposed adjustment.
H. Modification of Code Standards:
3312.21 - Landscaping and screening. Under this section interior landscaping trees shall be planted on islands or peninsulas containing a minimum soil area of 145 square feet per tree. This development does not provide interior landscaping trees planted on islands or peninsulas, but rather around the perimeter of parking lot areas.
3312.27 - Parking setback line. Under this section, where a required building setback line is 25 feet or greater, the parking setback line shall be 25 feet from the street right-of-way line. This development provides a parking setback of 5 feet from Gibbard Avenue for Subarea B.
3312.49 - Minimum number of parking spaces. The proposed development requires 1 parking space for each 500 square feet of day care use, 1 parking space for each 450 square feet of office use and 1 parking space for each 60 square feet of assembly space. The development is also permitted a 25 percent reduction of the required parking pursuant to the Urban Commercial Overlay. The development, therefore, requires a total of 123 parking spaces. The development provides a minimum of 21 parking spaces. This modification shall only be effective so long as Subarea A operates as a child day care facility.
3321.09 - Screening. Under this section, nonresidential districts abutting residential districts must be screened. The proposed development does not provide screening on the eastern boundary of Subarea A and the northern boundary of Subarea B.
3372.604(A) - Setback requirements. Under this section, the maximum building setback is ten feet. The development provides a maximum building setback from Cleveland Avenue shall be 18 feet and from Gibbard Avenue shall be 58 feet for Subarea A.
3372.605(C) - Building design standards. Under this section, A building frontage that exceeds a width of 50 feet shall include vertical piers or other vertical visual elements to break the plane of the building frontage. The vertical piers or vertical elements shall be spaced at intervals of 15 feet to 35 feet along the entire building frontage. This development is permitted sections on Cleveland Avenue and Gibbard Avenue frontage which exceed 35 feet without a vertical visual element, as depicted on the Building Elevations.
