APPLICANT: Laurel Healthcare; c/o Catherine Cunningham, Atty.; Kegler Brown Hill & Ritter; 65 East State Street, Suite 1800; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Nursing home facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on November 17, 2021.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District (Z04-036) which permits a variety of unspecified manufacturing uses. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will permit a nursing home facility. The site is located within the boundaries of the Far East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Employment Center” land uses at this location, and includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The CPD text permits limited C-4, Commercial and I, Institutional district uses, and includes supplemental development standards that address building and parking setbacks, site access, landscaping, four-sided building architecture, and a commitment to develop the site in accordance with the site plan and landscaping plan. A modification to the required building setback lines along a new public street is included in the request. While the proposed nursing home includes a residential component, the employment aspect inherent to this use is consistent with the intent of the Plan’s land use recommendation for “Employment Center” uses. The request also incorporates C2P2 Design Guidelines, including additional street trees and landscaping along the Blossom Field Boulevard frontage and sufficient buffering adjacent to the residential development to the south. Staff also supports the vehicular access point to future public street to the north which includes a pedestrian connection that links to the internal walkway.
