Explanation
Rezoning Application Z20-051
APPLICANT: Thompson Thrift Development, Inc., c/o Dave Perry, Agent; Dave Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor, Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on August 13, 2020.
SOUTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is comprised of two parcels developed with an eating and drinking establishment and parking lot zoned in the R, Rural District as the result of a recent annexation from Franklin Township that became effective September 23, 2020. The requested rezoning is a comparable request from the CS, Community Service District in Franklin County to the C-4, Commercial District to permit commercial development. The site is within the boundaries of the Southwest Area Plan (2009), which recommends community commercial land uses at this location, and includes adoption of Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). This proposal is compatible with the recommendations of the Plan and is consistent with the zoning pattern along Harrisburg Pike. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #2329-2020, CV20-055) has been filed to permit a retail bank with variances to reduce parking and building setbacks, and allow a parcel line to divide a driveway, aisle, and drive-up stacking area as the site will be comprised of two separate parcels which cannot be combined due to different taxing districts.
