STAFF REPORT Planning Commission

Case 633-R Prepared by: R. Lee Brown
Summary The applicant is requesting to replat lot #4, lot #5 and
Reserve A of the Bruner Sullivan Development. The proposal meets
all requirements outlined in Section 205.29 of the Franklin County
Subdivision Regulations for changing a recorded subdivision plat.
The approved plat must be recorded within six (6) months from the
date of approval. Staff recommends approval of the proposed replat.
Background The Bruner Sullivan Development, consisting of 11 lots,
was originally platted in 2008. Lot #4 is 5.03-acres, lot #5 is
5.19-acres and Reserve A is 6.02-acres. Reserve A was originally
designated as Open Space/Green Space; this open space/green space
was to be conveyed to Pleasant Township Board of Trustees with a
Conservation Easement held by Franklin Soil and Water Conservation
District. The Pleasant Township Board of Trustees does not wish to
take ownership of this property. Staff has been unsuccessful in
finding another entity to take ownership of the property and would
like to incorporate Reserve A into lot #4 and lot #5. The subject
lots and reserve are currently undeveloped and are under the same
ownership. Surrounding Zoning/ Land Use

the Bruner Sullivan Development.
-
The Big Darby Accord Watershed Master Plan, adopted in 2006,
recommends the subject property as agriculture. Agriculture is a
permitted use within the planning area and is expected to continue
within the planning area. The proposed development is not located
in the Big Darby Creek Watershed; the development is actually
located in the Deer Creek Watershed. The Pleasant Township
Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2009, also recommends the subject
property as agriculture. Agriculture and single-family homes are a
permitted use in the planning area. The proposed development
complies with both planning documents. Information: • Sewer –
Private on-site septic systems approved by Public Health • Water –
Private wells approved by Public Health • Floodplain – There is no
floodplain on the site. • School District – Madison Plains Local
School District • Watershed – Deer Creek Watershed • Emergency
Services- Pleasant Township Fire Department • Police – Franklin
County Sherriff’s Office • Existing Zoning – Rural District permits
lots of 2.5-acres or greater in size with 150 feet of
frontage.
Staff Review Section 205.29 – Changing a Recorded Subdivision
Plat Pursuant to Section 205.29(A) and 205.29(B) of the Franklin
County Subdivision Regulations, Franklin County Planning Commission
must determine if any property owner in the current subdivision
will be “injuriously affected” as a result of the proposed changes.
A property owner may be deemed so if any one of the following
conditions would create adverse circumstances directly related to a
specific lot or set of lots:
1. The lot size or configuration of one or more lots in the
subdivision would be altered by a change in an existing street or
right-of-way alignment; 2. The lot size or configuration of one or
more lots in the subdivision would be altered because a new street
or right-of-way is to be dedicated within the previously recorded
plat; 3. Lots created by an amendment or resubdivision of the plat
would be smaller than any other lot in the same platted
subdivision; 4. The fair market value of any lot would decrease.
Evidence of diminution in value from a certified appraiser or other
credible source may be required; 5. A lot would be adversely
impacted by a change in storm drainage runoff, a change in the
water supply or water flow, the existence of health or safety
risks, or any circumstance which would prohibit or unreasonably
limit the ability of the property owner to use the lot for its
intended purpose; 6. The size, location or configuration of any lot
would violate or not conform to restrictions or regulations
applicable to such lot without first having obtained a variance or
other appropriate relief.
Staff Analysis The applicant’s proposal does not involve any of
the conditions listed above and therefore will not “injuriously
affect” any property owner in the current subdivision. Furthermore,
the applicant’s proposal complies with all standards of the
Franklin County Subdivision Regulations and the Franklin County
-
Zoning Resolution and is consistent with the recommendations of
the Big Darby Accord Watershed Master Plan and the Pleasant
Township Comprehensive Plan. Recommendation Staff recommends
approval of the proposed replat.

1. The site must be cleaned up before we will consider the
possibility ofsupporting your request. Any existing remnants of the
former retail nursery not inuseable condition and detailed on the
development site plan must be removed.This includes all trash,
debris, containers, storage drums, miscellaneous items, etc. Any
noxious weeds must be mowed or eradicated. All required fencing
must berepaired/reconstructed to be in good condition at all times.
The barbwire fencingmust be completely removed. Any dumpsters not
in use must be removed. Shoulda dumpster be scheduled to remain, it
must be reflected on the site plan andlocated/screened in
accordance with Section 505 of the Franklin County ZoningResolution
(attached). As Mr. Brown mentioned, we will suspend anyenforcement
action against the property provided there is active progress
inreturning the property to be compliant with our zoning
regulations.
2. The site plan and development text must be updated to reflect
the locationand area to be occupied by the Taco Truck. The
development text must also beupdated to include this as a permitted
use. You will need to include in the text thehours of operation and
number of employees. We need to also make sure that therequired
number of parking spaces are provided. Under current code
requirements,a restaurant use requires 1 parking space per 75 sq.
ft. of gross floor area usedfor said use. This must be in addition
to the required parking already in place. Thelot will need to be
striped according to the approved development plan. Finally,just to
clarify, the Taco Truck cannot occupy any of the required parking
spacesshown on the plan, but can occupy an open paved area on the
lot.
3. Location of all lighting on site will need to be detailed on
the site plan inconjunction with the development text. We need to
ensure that light pollution willnot cause an issue for motorists or
any of the adjacent residential properties tothe
north/northeast.
4. I failed to mention at the meeting this afternoon that the
graphic placed overthe existing free standing sign cabinet must be
removed until the rezoning hasbeen completed and an On-Premise Sign
Permit has been issued. Additionally, agraphic cannot be strapped
or pinned to the cabinet. It must be structurallyattached to the
sign cabinet and the supporting sign structure. This is a
safetyconcern if the straps were to come loose someone could be
injured.
5. I made quite a few comments regarding the development text
(attached). Iwould like to sit down with you, David and Bob if need
be to discuss mycomments and to ensure that you are clear on what
changes are necessary. It isnot my responsibility to rewrite the
text. My responsibility is to help guide youthrough the process and
to inform the various Boards as to what it is you areproposing and
whether you proposal complies with our regulations and is
anappropriate use for the area. We need to make sure that all
spelling, grammaticaland syntax errors are corrected before taking
this before any of the three approvalboards. This text will be
journalized and become the official record of zoning
-
amendment. Please let me know when you are available to meet so
that we canbe sure that all comments are appropriately addressed.
It seems that there issome communication breakdown with my previous
email correspondence andwritten comments.

STAFF REPORT

Case ZON-12-07
Prepared by: Scott Ulrich
Summary The applicant is requesting to amend the existing Select
Commercial Planned District (SCPD) in order to reflect current
conditions of the property and expand the permitted uses. The
proposal will not be detrimental to the surrounding area and
complies with the recommendations of the Blendon Community Plan.
Staff recommends approval with conditions. Request The subject site
is located on the west side of North Hamilton Road, approximately
150 feet north of Thompson Road in Blendon Township; it is
surrounded on all sides by the City of Columbus. The site currently
contains a single-story dwelling used as an office, as well as a
paved area for parking and a grass lawn with landscaping and trees.
The current SCPD development text allows only the use of the
property as an interior design studio. The applicant is proposing
to amend the development plan and text to reflect deviations from
the previous development plan and to expand the permitted uses to
include a range of professional office uses that are appropriate
for the site. Surrounding Land Use/Zoning

-
Comprehensive Plans The Blendon Community Plan, adopted by
Franklin County in 2010, recommends this area for a full range of
commercial and multi-family land uses. The proposed rezoning
complies with this planning document. Staff Analysis Select
Commercial Planned District The Select Commercial Planned District
(SCPD) is intended to provide a flexible approach to commercial
developments in unincorporated Franklin County. It is intended to
limit non-residential development to a specified type, character
and mix, and to provide the controls necessary to ensure
compatibility between the select commercial area with the
surrounding environment. The rezoning of an area to the SCPD
requires a development plan showing buildings, parking,
landscaping, lighting, and signage. Any change or modification to
an approved development plan must go through the amendment process.
Proposed Uses The applicant is proposing that the district allow
select uses listed in 322.022 Suburban Office and Institutional
District Regulations of the Franklin County Zoning Resolution,
limited to the following:
• Veterinary Services, without outdoor pens or runs • Animal
specialty services without outdoor pens or runs (Exclusive of horse
breeding) • Travel Agencies • Non Depository Institutions •
Security/commodity brokers • Insurance Carriers • Insurance Brokers
• Real Estate • Investment Companies • Business Services/Offices •
Video tape/disc rental • Dance Studio • Health & Medical
Services • Legal Services • Social Services • Engineering,
Personnel, Management Services • Professional Services not
otherwise classified
Vegetation and Soils Existing vegetation on the site includes
grass, a flower crab tree, three oak trees, two maple trees, and
three spruce trees. No new vegetation is proposed. Access &
Traffic Access to the site is currently provided from Hamilton Road
via a 12-foot wide access drive. Hamilton Road is designated as a
major arterial road in the Franklin County Thoroughfare Plan, with
a recommended right-of-way of 120 feet. The site currently
dedicates 40 feet of half right-of-way. The Franklin County
Engineer’s has no concerns with maintaining the current
right-of-way dedication.
-
Parking and Circulation The existing unstriped parking area
provides enough area for 10 parking spaces, separated into two rows
by a central drive aisle. Storm Water/Drainage The existing
stormwater drainage on the site has proven to be adequate. The
Franklin County Drainage Engineer and the Franklin Soil and Water
Conservation District have no concerns with the stormwater design.
Sewage Disposal and Water Supply The property contains a
residential water well that is no longer used, and currently
receives municipal water services from a City of Columbus water
main along Hamilton Road. Sewage disposal is currently provided by
a septic aerator with sufficient capacity for the proposed uses.
Ohio EPA and Franklin County Public Health have no concerns with
the existing septic system. Architectural Design The existing
structure is a former single-family home now used as an office. The
submitted architectural rendering reflects deviations from the
previously submitted development plan. The building was not
modified as proposed in the previously submitted development plan,
although the garage portion was closed off. No additional
modifications are proposed. Outside Storage There will be no
outside storage on the site. Utilities and Facilities All existing
utilities are underground. There are no below ground storage
facilities. Pollution There is no smoke, odor, or noise emitted
from the subject property. Graphics and Signage Although an outdoor
sign request was submitted in the original zoning application that
was approved on February 7, 1996, the sign was never installed.
Should a sign be required in the future, application shall be
submitted in compliance with SCPD guidelines No outside graphics
are requested at this time. Lighting Although an outside lighting
request was submitted in the original zoning application that was
approved on February 7, 1996, the lighting was never installed.
Should outside lighting be required in the future, application
shall be submitted in compliance with SCPD guidelines. No outside
lighting is requested at this time. Screening & Landscaping
Plan The submitted landscaping plan reflects deviations from the
previously submitted development plan. No additional screening or
landscaping is proposed. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends
approval of the proposed rezoning with the following
conditions:
1. The applicant must remove Veterinary Services from the list
of permitted uses, as requested by Franklin County Public Health
due to potential septic system capacity issues.
2. The applicant must work with Franklin County Public Health to
have the on-site water well sealed properly.

0.18-acres of a one acre property. The property is currently zoned
Urban Residential (R-12) and the applicant is requesting to rezone
the 0.18- acres to the Community Service (CS) district. The
property is currently vacant aside from a storage building that is
located in the northeast corner. The storage building is used by
the applicant for his construction business and is accessed from
the adjacent property at 3675 Trabue Road. The intent of the
request is to legitimize the use and location of the building,
which currently encroaches across the property line. If the
rezoning is approved the applicant plans to complete a lot line
adjustment to make the 0.18- acre area a part of 3675 Trabue Road.

Comprehensive Plans The Scioto-Franklin Neighborhood Plan,
adopted in 2011, recommends the subject property to develop as
medium density residential. Permitted uses include both
single-family and two-family homes. The plan recommends maintaining
and encouraging an appropriate mix of residential and commercial
uses in mixed use areas. The plan also prioritizes areas that are
in need of sidewalks. Trabue Road is classified as a primary
priority and sidewalks should be installed with all new commercial
development. The proposed rezoning does not conflict with the
neighborhood plan as it will maintain the existing mixed-use
character of the neighborhood. Staff Analysis Community Service
District: The Community Service (CS) district is intended for
sales, service, repair and processing establishments serving a
large trade area. The Community Service zoning district allows for
a full range of uses from retail and office to multi-unit housing
and townhomes. The permitted uses in the requested zoning district
match the future land use map of the Scioto-Franklin Neighborhood
Plan. Access/Traffic: Britton Avenue is a residential street,
maintained by Franklin Township. The subject property does not
currently have an access drive and is not classified on the
Franklin County Thoroughfare Plan. Access is provided to the
storage building by an existing drive at 3675 Trabue Road. Sewage
Disposal and Water Supply: No utilities currently exist on the
subject property. Staff has confirmed through the Franklin County
Sanitary Engineer that central water and sewer are not yet
available. The applicant will be required as part of the lot line
adjustment process to submit a soils analysis to the Franklin
County Public Health Department confirming that adequate soils are
present to sustain an on-site water and wastewater system.
Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning
with the following conditions:
1. The applicant must apply for and receive approval of a lot
line adjustment for the rezoned area. 2. The applicant must install
a five foot wide sidewalk along the entire frontage of 3675
Trabue
Road in accordance with the Scioto-Franklin Neighborhood Plan.
If the sidewalk is not permitted within the public right-of-way, it
must be installed on private property and a public access easement
executed and recorded.

Comprehensive Plans The Southwest Area Plan was a joint planning
effort completed by Franklin County and Columbus. The plan was
adopted in 2009 and recommends the subject property to develop with
Industrial uses. Appropriate zoning districts listed in the plan
for industrial uses include Limited Industrial, General Industrial
and Planned Industrial Park. The proposed rezoning complies with
the Southwest Area Plan land use recommendation. Staff Analysis
General Industrial District: The General Industrial (GI) district
is intended for heavy manufacturing and extensive industrial uses,
usually requiring large sites. The proposed rezoning will result in
an 18.8 acre area with General Industrial zoning under one owner.
The site is currently used for a range of manufacturing and
industrial uses permitted in the General Industrial district. The
proposed rezoning meets the intent of the General Industrial zoning
district and keeps with the existing land use character of the
area. Access/Traffic: There are currently 4 access points to the
site and no new access is proposed with the rezoning request. The
site is already used for manufacturing and industrial purposes with
no new development proposed, resulting in no increase in traffic.
The Columbus Division of Planning and Operations has no concerns
with the proposed rezoning. Sewage Disposal and Water Supply: The
site is currently served by public water and sewer. The Franklin
County Sanitary Engineer has no concerns with the proposed
rezoning. Recommendation Staff recommends that the proposed
rezoning be approved with conditions:
1. The applicant must combine the three parcels into one tax
parcel.
