Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z21-035
APPLICANT: SkilkenGold Development; c/o Beth Cotner, Agent; 4270 Morse Road; Columbus, OH 43230.
PROPOSED USE: Fuel sales, convenience store, and eating and drinking establishment.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on August 12, 2021.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a portion of one undeveloped parcel zoned in the L-C-4, Limited Commercial District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District proposes development of the site with a fuel sales facility, including an eating and drinking establishment, convenience store with drive-in window service, and limited outdoor display sales. The CPD text includes use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address setbacks, site access, landscaping, building materials, and graphics provisions. The text also includes a commitment to develop the site in accordance with the submitted site plan, landscaping plan, and elevations. This site is within the planning boundaries of the Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends medium to high density residential land uses. Although the request is inconsistent with the recommended residential use, staff recognizes the site’s existing commercial zoning and location on a main corridor, and supports the use due to a high level of design and sufficient landscaping incorporated into the proposed site plan and building elevations. The request is consistent with adjacent zoning and development patterns, and does not represent an introduction of an incompatible use to the surrounding area.
