Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z21-036
APPLICANT: Flint 23, LLC; c/o Catherine A. Cunningham, Atty.; Kegler Brown Hill & Ritter; 65 East State Street, Suite 1800; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Office uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on June 10, 2021.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 1.23± acre site consists of one parcel developed with an office building zoned in the L-C-2, Limited Commercial District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will expand permitted uses and will allow an addition to the existing building. The rezoning is necessary because the current L-C-2 district (Z86-1237) contains specific setback requirements that do not accommodate the proposed expansion. The CPD text proposes all C-2 district uses, commits to a site plan, and includes development standards addressing setbacks, access, landscaping, and screening. Variances for setbacks and parking lot landscaping and screening are included in the request. The site is within the boundaries of Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends office uses at this location. The proposal remains consistent with this recommendation and the proposed site plan includes sufficient landscaping and screening along the North High Street frontage which is consistent with the design guidelines of the Plan. Planning Division staff continues to recommend that the proposed sidewalk be extended along the perimeter of Flint Road, but does not condition their support on this recommendation.
