Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z21-073
APPLICANT: A-Temporary Fence, LLC; c/o Richard Signoracci, Agent; 2163 Sprucefield Drive; Columbus, OH 43229.
PROPOSED USE: Industrial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on January 13, 2022.
NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a commercial building in the C-4, Commercial District. The site is subject to a zoning code violation for establishing an outdoor storage use without obtaining zoning clearance. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will establish compliant zoning for the storage yard and facility for a fencing contractor with a dwelling for a resident security person. The limitation text establishes use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address setbacks, access, street trees, screening, and landscaping, and includes a commitment to develop the site in accordance with the attached site plan. The site is within the planning area of the North Central Plan (2002), which recommends “Neighborhood Commercial Services” uses for this location. While the proposed use does not meet this definition, it is compatible with the surrounding uses which consist of outdoor storage and manufacturing. The Plan’s design guidelines state that street trees should be planted along street frontages, and the proposal includes commitments to maintain street trees along Joyce Avenue, and to install street trees along Windsor Avenue. This request will not introduce incompatible uses to the area. Ordinance #1284-2022; CV21-104 is included as a concurrent Council variance request to permit reduced setbacks and screening for the storage facility.
