SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES: AMEND BY SUBSTITUTION and ADOPT ORD-0073-2015 TO REZONE 4.19+/- ACRES OF PROPERTY AS L-SO, LIMITED OVERLAY SUBURBAN OFFICE; SAID PROPERTY LOCATED AT RIDENOUR ROAD, IMPERIAL RISE #3, PART OF RESERVE "A"; PARCEL ID NO. 025-013236; CURRENT ZONING RID, RESTRICTED INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICT; FRED KENIMER, LAND OWNER'S PROPERTY COORDINATOR, APPLICANT. Schnetzer said this doesn't have a project; no rules for said project; City of Gahanna Page 5 City Council Meeting Minutes March 21, 2016 not cynical on future development; needs to be scrupulously analyzed; in the course of discussion, not heard anything that City has misled anyone; but project deviates from concept as signal family; to approve a re-zoning could lead to a project not desirable; putting the cart before the horse; example is the apartment development on Hamilton Road; instead ended up with apartments and not condos; he's not in favor of this legislation. Glen Dugger, 37 W. Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio; pointed out that any project for development would need to go through the final development process; this over lay provides a level of protection; happy to answer any questions. McGregor said was originally on Council when this group bought this property; it was zoned Suburban Office, SO; Gahanna had recently added a new zoning classification, Restricted Institutional District, RID; it was a zoning classification for churches, schools and government buildings; these types of buildings are often in residential areas but have different needs as far as parking requirements, setbacks etc; Gahanna asked the Christian Meeting Room to rezone their property to this RID zoning because they were planning to build a church; the plan has changed and a church is no longer planned; the group wants to sell the property, but the RID zoning greatly limits its uses; churches can create a lot traffic; changing it back will have low impact on traffic; it is a reasonable request. Metzbower said he read the traffic analysis submitted by Anthony Jones in his presentation to Council; discussed traffic for various uses; how it would impact daily traffic; would like the document to be put into the discussion; Jones will submit to clerk for legislation file (attached). Renner believes there are levels of protection in place with this overlay; thanked applicant for going through process. A motion was made by Leeseberg, seconded by Metzbower, that this Ordinance be Amended by Substitution and Adopted.
