Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-009
APPLICANT: MAK Engineering Services LLC; c/o Nia Harrington; 225 South Main Street; Mount Vernon, OH 43056.
PROPOSED USE: Manufacturing uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-1) on June 9, 2022.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped in the R-4, Residential District. The requested M, Manufacturing District will permit unspecified manufacturing uses. This site is within the planning boundaries of the Port Columbus Joint Economic Development Strategy (2008) which recommends “Residential” land uses at this location and the East Columbus Neighborhood Plan (2012) which recommends “Medium-High Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location. While the proposal is inconsistent with the residential land use recommendations of these Plans, Planning Division staff is supportive of the non-residential uses at this location, recognizing that East 5th Avenue and Stelzer Road are both mixed use corridors that include many properties zoned in the M district.
Title
To rezone 3336 E. 5TH AVE. (43219), being 3.45± acres located at the northwest corner of East Fifth Avenue and Stelzer Road, From: R-4, Residential District, To: M, Manufacturing District (Rezoning #Z22-009).
Body
WHEREAS, application #Z22-009 is on file with the Department of Building and Zoning Services requesting rezoning of 3.45± acres from R-4, Residential District, to M, Manufacturing District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the proposed M, Manufacturing District will allow an industrial development that is compatible with nearby industrial uses. While the proposal is inconsistent with the residential land use recommendations of the Port Columbus Joint Economic Development Strategy and the East Columbus Neighborhood Plan, staff recognizes non-residential uses in the area, with East 5th Avenue and Stelzer Road being mixed use corridors that include many properties zoned in the M district; now, therefore:
