Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z21-030
APPLICANT: Thrive Companies; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Joseph M. Reidy, Atty.; Thrive Companies; 842 North Fourth Street, Suite 200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on June 10, 2021.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of eight parcels being developed with a mixed-use development as permitted by Ordinance #2758-2018 (CV17-034), passed October 15, 2018, in the M, Manufacturing, C-4, Commercial, C-2, Commercial, and P-1, Private Parking districts. The requested C-4, Commercial, I, Institutional, AR-1, Apartment Residential, R-3, Residential, and R, Rural districts will establish appropriate zoning districts for the uses occurring on site as a required condition of Ordinance #2758-2018. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Harrison West Plan (2005), which recommends “Greenspace/Parkland,” “Parkland Acquisition,” and “Battelle” land uses at this location. While the request is not consistent with the Harrison West Plan’s land use recommendations, it meets the requirements for the required follow-up rezoning, presents no significant changes from the previously approved development, and results in the zoning map reflecting this mixed-use development. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #1941-2021; CV21-040) is requested to permit ground floor residential uses in the C-4 district, a private driveway as the sole use in the AR-1 district, to increase the permitted number of single-unit dwellings on one lot in the R-3 district, and to permit a privately held park in the Rural district, with variances to various development standards in each subarea.
