APPLICANT: Nationwide Children’s Hospital; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Nationwide Children’s Hospital expansion.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on May 13, 2021.
COLUMBUS SOUTHSIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of approximately 12.55± acres, including existing Subarea C from the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District approved for Nationwide Children’s Hospital main campus on June 20, 2018 by Ordinance #1244-2018 (Z18-003), as well as the addition of land south of Livingston Avenue and east of Parsons Avenue that is generally developed with single- and two-unit dwellings in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested CPD text is consistent with the Near Southside Area Plan’s recommendation for “Institutional,” “Mixed-Use Community,” and “Medium Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location. Staff is supportive of the reduced setbacks and increased height districts incorporated in the updated text as they are reflective of an institutional campus in an urban setting. The proposed modification to the CPD district permits for orderly expansion of the hospital and its associated facilities, is consistent with the development and zoning patterns of the area, while taking into consideration the urban corridors of East Livingston Avenue and Parsons Avenue, as well as the residential neighborhood located directly south of the subject site.
