Explanation
Rezoning Application Z22-070
APPLICANT: Driven Brands, Inc.; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Car wash facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on November 10, 2022.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 1.62± acre site consists of one parcel developed with a parking lot in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District (Subarea B), as established by Ordinance #0489-20019; Z18-072. The newly requested CPD district will permit a car wash facility in addition to the listed C-4 commercial uses, and includes a site plan demonstrating the site layout of said car wash. All other development standards and permitted uses from the previously-approved CPD district, including graphic commitments, have been carried forward with this request. The requested CPD district is consistent with the Northland I Area Plan (2014) recommendation for “Regional Mixed Use” at this location. Staff considers the addition of a car wash facility consistent with the development pattern of the area that does not represent the introduction of an incompatible use. Staff continues to encourage the applicant to explore opportunities for additional landscaping and/or preservation of existing perimeter landscaping, but does condition support upon these suggestions.
