Explanation
Rezoning Application Z22-019
APPLICANT: Vicki L. Rathburn; 5622 State Route 752; Ashville, OH 43103.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on June 9, 2022.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with an office in the R-2, Residential District as the result of a 1958 rezoning. The requested C-3, Commercial District will permit office uses and other community-scale commercial uses. Although the Scioto Southland Plan recommends “Office” land use, the proposed C-3 district is consistent with the Plan’s alternative recommendation of “Commercial (flex office/warehouse)” for this site location. Additionally, the request is consistent with the surrounding zoning pattern along this portion of South High Street, and does not add incompatible uses to the area.
