Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z19-098
APPLICANT: Cardinal Self Storage LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (3-1-1) on July 9, 2020.
WEST SCIOTO AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. The site consists of three undeveloped parcels zoned in R, Rural District. The applicant desires ot develop the site with a self-storage facility and requests the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #2010-2020, CV20-133) has been filed to vary the building and parking setback lines. The limitation text commits to a site plan and includes development standards addressing setbacks, site access, and lighting. The site is located within the boundaries of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends “Mixed-Use (Neighborhood)” land uses for this location, described as “local centers of economic activity” exemplified by “smaller scale retail, office, or institutional uses, including gas stations with conveniences stores that are built to Urban Commercial Overlay (UCO) standards.” While the requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will allow a self-storage facility that is compatible with adjacent industrial development, Staff finds the proposed use of self-storage inconsistent with the recommendations of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan. Staff would consider self-storage on this block if it were part of a larger redevelopment strategy that included a mix of uses, and was either hidden to the rear of the site or otherwise presented along Trabue Road as a commercial storefront typology, consistent with the Plan’s recommendations.
