Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-006
APPLICANT: Ohio 1 Developers LLC; c/o Connie Klema, Atty.; P.O. Box 991, Pataskala, OH 43062.
PROPOSED USE: Storage uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on June 9, 2022.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 1.36± acre site consists of one parcel developed with a commercial building and a self-storage building in the C-3, Commercial District. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District proposes the development of an additional 7,800± square foot self-storage building. The limitation text establishes appropriate use restrictions and supplemental development standards for additional screening requirements by adding slats to the existing 6-foot high chain link fence bordering the east and south property lines, and states that the development shall be in accordance with the applicable chapters of the Zoning Code. The site is located within the planning area of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “Neighborhood Commercial” land uses at this location, and includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District is not considered to be an introduction of an incompatible use, and is generally consistent with the development pattern in the surrounding area. The Planning Division is supportive of the proposal as the site plan relocates parking to the rear of the building addressing Frebis Avenue, consistent with C2P2 design guidelines. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #2393-2022; CV22-004) has been filed for reduced development standards to address existing site conditions.
Title

Body
WHEREAS, application #Z22-006 is on file with the Department of Building and Zoning Services requesting rezoning of 1.36± acres from C-3, Commercial District, To: L-M, Limited Manufacturing District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the Columbus South Side Area Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District is not considered to be an introduction of an incompatible use.
