Subject: Zoning history for the parcels located 500 feet north of Manchester Expressway,
between Armour Road & I-185
In 1998, Columbus Properties, LLC, applied for rezoning for properties located
along Armour Road: 1) property east of Armour Road, between I-185 and Airport
Thruway and 2) property 500 feet north of Manchester Expressway, between Armour
Road and I-185. The properties regarding this rezoning case consists of the
area north of Manchester Expressway (Land Lease #3):
1) 1998 (Ordinance 98-109):
-- This ordinance put two conditions on the property in question:
-- #2. Limit use of the property to the uses identified in the
initial traffic impact analysis (Four restaurants and a bookstore
for Land Lease #1 and mini-storage facilities for that portion of Land Lease
#3 being rezoned to C-3).
-- #3. Install necessary transportation improvements as required by
the Traffic Engineer Division to Armour Road and the realigned
roadway serving Land Lease #1.
-- #5. Direct access to Armour Road is limited to the proposed
roadway identified on the site plan and the traffic impact
analysis.
-- These conditions were recommended by the Planning Division.
2) 1999 / 2000 (Ordinance 00-5):
-- The applicant requested that:
-- Land Lease #3 allow for the development of three commercial lots
fronting Armour Road to be occupied by automotive service businesses
such as a car wash, oil and lube centers, muffler shops, brake service
centers, or similar uses. These uses would generate less traffic than what
was originally approved in 1998.
-- Land Lease #3 allow for a portion of the area designated for
mini-storage facilities to be used for RV, camper, and boat storage, or
any use approved by the FAA for property located within the Glide Path.
-- Land lease #3 allow for two (2) curb-cuts on Armour Road to serve
the three (3) commercial lots to be created.
-- The Planning Division recommended that:
-- Traffic circulation be handled internally so that only one
"right-turn in" curb-cut be permitted on Armour Road and the Department
of Engineering shall approve the location of that curb-cut.
-- The outdoor storage portion of the parcel be buffered with Category
D, Option 1 of the Buffer Ordinance; that the automotive service
businesses be buffered with one of the Options of Category A of the
Buffer Ordinance; and that the text "or any other use approved by the FAA for
the property located within the Glide Path" be deleted from the requested
amendment.
-- The ordinance amended Conditions #2, #3, and #5 as follows:
-- #2. The three commercial lots fronting on Armour Road in Land
Lease #3 shall be limited to the following development:
automotive service businesses such as a car wash, oil and lube
center, muffler shop, brake service center, or similar uses.
Only one "right-turn in" curb-cut shall be allowed
on Armour Road. The automotive service business shall be buffered with one of
the Options of category A of the Buffer Ordinance (Chapter 18A,
Article VI of the Columbus Code).
-- #3. On Land Lease #3, the portion designated for mini-storage
facilities may be used for RV, camper, and boat storage. The
entire portion of the parcel used for mini-storage facilities shall be
buffered with Category D, Option 1 of the Buffer Ordinance
(Chapter 18A, Article VI of the Columbus Code).
-- #5. Direct access to Armour Road is limited to the proposed
roadway identified on the site plan and the traffic impact
analysis and to the "right-turn in" curb-cut referenced in Condition #2 above.
3) 2001 (Ordinance 01-109):
-- The applicant requested that portions of Conditions #2 and #3 of
Ordinance 00-5 that pertain to the Buffer Ordinance be deleted. The way
the ordinance was written required that each proposed use would require a
buffer between them. This is not required between C-3 properties under the
Buffer Ordinance.
-- The Planning Advisory Commission recommended that the portions
pertaining to certain categories of the Buffer Ordinance be replaced by
sentences that refer to the requirements of the current Buffer Ordinance.
-- The ordinance amended Conditions #2 and #3 as follows:
-- #2. The three commercial lots fronting on Armour Road in Land
Lease #3 shall be limited to the following development:
automotive service businesses such as a car wash, oil and lube
center, muffler shop, brake service center, or similar uses.
Only one "right-turn in" curb-cut shall be allowed on Armour
Road. The automotive service businesses shall be required to meet
the requirements of the Buffer ordinance ( Chapter 18A, Article
VI of the Columbus Code of Ordinances).
--#3. On Land lease #3, he portion designated for mini-storage
facilities may be used for RV, camper, and boat storage. The
entire portion of the parcel used for mini-storage facilities shall be
required to meet the requirements of the Buffer ordinance (Chapter
18A, Article VI of the Columbus Code of Ordinances).
4) 2002:
-- The applicant requests that the use restrictions be removed. The
new condition on the property would limit the entire site to 2800 trips
per day. Once that mark is established, no further development on the sites
would be permitted.
