Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z21-028
APPLICANT: Holt Road Venture LLC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Limited commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on June 10, 2021.
WESTLAND AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a former car wash facility zoned in the L-C-5, Limited Commercial District. The existing zoning district (Z00-118) permits only the car wash use, while the requested L-C-4, Limited Commercial District will expand the permitted uses for unspecified commercial development. The site is within the boundaries of the Westland Area Plan (1994), which recommends “Industrial/Manufacturing” land uses at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The limitation text includes use restrictions and supplemental development standards addressing site access and street trees. The requested L-C-4, Limited Commercial District will allow a commercial development that is consistent with adjacent commercial developments. While the Plan recommends industrial and manufacturing uses for the site, Planning Division staff does not oppose the request due to the prevailing commercial nature of the adjacent Georgesville Road and Holt Road corridors, the age of the plan, and the provision of appropriate use restrictions incorporated into the limitation text. The requested zoning district does not represent an introduction of an incompatible use to the surrounding development.
