Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z20-096
APPLICANT: Precision Pipeline Services, LLC; c/o Tim Snider, Agent; 7558 King George Drive; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Industrial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on March 11, 2021.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a dwelling and outbuildings and is zoned in the R, Rural District as a result of recent annexation from Mifflin Township. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will permit a contractor’s office and storage development. The site is subject to the I-670 Graphics Control overlay and is located within the boundaries of the Port Columbus Joint Economic Development Strategy (2008), which recommends “Mixed Use” land uses for this location. The site is also located within the boundaries of the Northeast Area Plan (2007), which recommends “Office-Light Industrial” land uses for this location. The Northeast Area Plan design guidelines also state that industrial development should be designed to minimize or mitigate impacts on adjacent uses, especially residential uses, through such means as landscaping, buffering, and enhanced setbacks, and that stream corridors should be protected in a natural state. The limitation text proposes office and less objectionable manufacturing uses, and includes development standards addressing setbacks, access, landscaping, screening, lighting and graphics controls, and stream corridor protection. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will allow an industrial development that is consistent with the plan recommendations of both the Northeast Area Plan and the Port Columbus Joint Economic Development Strategy. The proposal also incorporates landscaping, screening, and stream corridor protection as recommended by the Northeast Area Plan design guidelines.
