STAFF REPORT Planning Commission

July 11, 2012

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

Applicant/Owner: Agent: Township: Subdivision: Location: Request:

Bruner Land Company Tony Meacham, Korda/Memeth Engineering, Inc. Pleasant Township Bruner Sullivan Development NW corner of Biggert Road & Chamberlin Road (PID #232-000160, 232-000153 and 232-000152) Requesting to replat lot #4, lot #5 and Reserve A of 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.

I believe I have addressed all items of concern that were discussed this afternoon.Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns of yourown.

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.

Katie R. Hixon Blendon Township Central water and on-site septic 5311 North Hamilton Road (PID #112-000047) 0.59-acres Requesting to amend an existing Select Commercial Planned District (SCPD).

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.

Case ZON-12-08 Prepared by: Anthony Hray

Summary The applicant is requesting to rezone 0.18- acres of a one acre property from the Urban Residential (R-12) district to the Community Service (CS) district. The proposal will not be detrimental to the surrounding area and does not conflict with the recommendations of the Scioto-Franklin Neighborhood Plan. Staff recommends approval with conditions. Request The subject property is located on the north side of Britton Avenue, approximately one tenth of a mile west of Hague Avenue. The proposal is to rezone 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. Surrounding Land Use/Zoning

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.

Case ZON-12-09

Prepared by: Matt Brown and Anthony Hray

Summary The applicant is requesting to rezone the properties from the Community Service district to the General Industrial district. The proposal will not be detrimental to the surrounding area and complies with the recommendations of the Southwest Area Plan. Staff recommends approval with conditions. Request The subject property is located on the east side of Harmon Avenue just north of the Hart Road intersection. The proposal is to rezone two properties and a portion of another property to the General Industrial (GI) district, the total area to be rezoned is 6.9 acres. The proposed rezoning will legitimize existing uses and match the zoning existing on a portion of one of the properties. There are three buildings located on the area to be rezoned. The buildings are used for a variety of uses including carpet cleaning, ambulance service and automobile performance tuning. The current uses are permitted in the General Industrial district and no new development is proposed for the site. Surrounding Land Use/Zoning

Harmon Avenue LLC Jackson B. Reynolds, III Franklin Township Public water and sewer 1670 Harmon Avenue (PID #140-000289, 2217 and 7420) 6.9-acres Requesting to rezone from the Community Service (CS) district to the General Industrial (GI) district.

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.
