PROPOSED USE: Industrial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on May 12, 2022.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 42.2± acre site consists of portions of two undeveloped parcels zoned in the L-C-4, Limited Commercial, L-M-2, Limited Manufacturing, and CPD, Commercial Planned Development districts (Ordinance #1252-97; Z93-036) with the north and west portions of the site located in the floodplain. The requested L-M-2, Limited Manufacturing District will permit development of an industrial warehouse and distribution facility. The limitation text includes use restrictions, setbacks, access and traffic provisions, internal street trees, landscaping and screening, pedestrian paths, lighting and preservation area controls, and a commitment to the attached site plan which reflects site access, setbacks, landscaping, and trails (building and parking layout is conceptual). The site is within the boundaries of the South East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Employment Center” and “Open Space” land uses at this location. Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018) are also applicable to the site. Staff supports this proposal as it is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendations, and site design is consistent with C2P2 Design Guidelines. The Applicant is in ongoing conversations with the Recreation and Parks Department regarding parkland dedication of the stream corridor which would further protect natural resources and provide connection to undeveloped parkland across Winchester Pike northeast of the site.
