SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS

Mayor Fox invited Justin Goodwin, of the City of Columbus, and Kimberly Sharp, of
COTA, forward to provide their update to Council. John Gardocki, MORPC, was also
present. Ms. Sharp stated that she would be providing an update of LinkUS and Mr.
Goodwin would be providing an update of the Northwest Corridor Bus Rapid Transit
System. She stated that on March 22nd, a meeting will be held to gain input from the
public regarding the information being shared with Council at this meeting. She
expressed appreciation for Dublin's partnership in helping them understand Dublin
needs and engaging the public and other stakeholders.
LinkUS is a multimodal plan to move our region forward together. She reviewed the
work that began with MORPC's Insight 2050 Report which showed we would be a
region of 3 million people by 2050. Insight 2050 showed how compact development,
improved walkability, bikeability and transit could help us meet those growth needs in
an affordable way and maintain our great quality of life. COTA's NextGen worked with
residents throughout COTA's service area to get their input on rapid transit corridors
and other services. Corridor Concepts in 2019 provided another look at premium rapid
transit corridors and other ways to make more walkable, bikeable communities. A big
focus was getting workforce to jobs. This great work set the stage for LinkUs. Dublin
has been a key participant and funding partner in building this regional vision to
improve mobility and quality of life. Through LinkUs, our region can address our most
important current and future challenges. It is focused on:

• Economic Development, and
• Sustainability.
Ms. Sharp shared that our peers are reacting to a wave of growth pressures that
Central Ohio is now also experiencing. Our region is being proactive by planning and
potentially leveraging historical federal funds available now to serve future growth.
In Dublin, the expected outcomes would include more mobility infrastructure
investments like COTA Plus, expanding the Emerald Trail, and Dublin's more than 130
miles of shared use paths. There is also potential for a bus rapid transit alignment,
bringing workers from Downtown Columbus to Dublin.
Mr. Goodwin stated that the City of Columbus is working collaboratively with COTA, the
City of Dublin and other jurisdictions to develop bus rapid transit from Downtown
Columbus to the Dublin area. He provided an illustration of the potential Northwest
alignment options. He noted that the information he is sharing with Council will also
be shared at the public meeting on March 22nd. He shared the anticipated schedule
noting that a typical Federal Transit Administration project is usually a 6 -year project.
He provided information regarding the LinkUS website (www.linkUScolumbus.com) and
noted the various social media accounts available to find information.
Vice Mayor De Rosa stated that these corridors will pass through different
municipalities and asked how the different municipalities were being engaged
regarding design, etc.
Ms. Sharp stated that the LinkUS project is currently in a regional engagement process
(26 cities and 11 townships) to gain understanding of what the project is, what the
potential impacts are and gauging each entity's interest in mobility. Mr. Goodwin
stated that as these corridors touch other jurisdictions, there will be a strong
collaboration with Columbus and each jurisdiction that has regulatory authority over
their right-of-ways. It will all be part of the process.
Ms. Amorose Groomes thanked them for including Dublin in the study. She also
appreciates the collaborative efforts and noted that any rapid transit station in Dublin
would be designed with Dublin standards in mind. She stated that she feels the proper
terminus location is the OU campus. She shared that there was conversation in a
recent railway meeting she attended about ensuring that these LinkUS terminus areas
were where the rail stops would be.
Mayor Fox stated that working with MORPC will help ensure that we are looking at
mobility regionally.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Matthew C. Wickline, 7463 Dublin Road, stated that he is having stormwater issues on

Ordinance 02-22

Meeting
Rezoning the Shoppes at River Ridge including two parcels (PIDs 273-
008269 and 273-012909) from BSD -C, Bridge Street District - Commercial
District, to BSD -SRN, Bridge Street District - Scioto River Neighborhood
District; and Zoning one parcel (PID 273-012910), formerly right-of-way,
BSD -SRN, Bridge Street District - Scioto River Neighborhood District,
totaling 14.02 acres located southeast of the Riverside Drive and S.R. 161
roundabout (Case 21-1892)
Ms. Alutto introduced the Ordinance.
Ms. Rauch stated that Ordinance 02-22 is a request for review and approval of a
standard district rezoning of three parcels within the Bridge Street District in
accordance with the recommendations of the Community Plan. This Rezoning is not
being requested in conjunction with a development project. In April 2012, Ordinance
08-12 rezoned 388 parcels, including the subject parcels, establishing the Bridge Street
District (BSD), with 10 different zoning districts. The Shoppes at River Ridge were
rezoned to BSD -Commercial. In 2014, the City initiated the opportunity to create a
BSD -Scioto River Neighborhood Zoning District (Ordinance 76-14). In January, the
Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request to rezone these parcels from
BSD -Commerical to BSD -Scioto River Neighborhood and recommended approval of this
rezoning (Ordinance 02-22) to City Council. This rezoning is considstent with the
Community Plan.
The BSD -Commercial zoning intent is to allow for the continuation of pre-existing uses
while providing for rezoning as uses are discontinued. The uses are residential, office,
retail and restaurant uses. The building types are mixed-use, commercial center, large
format commercial and parking structure. It allows for a building height of up to five
stories. The proposed rezoning would allow opportunity for a well-planned
neighborhood with a balanced mix of land uses. The uses would still be residential,
office retail and restaurant uses but geared more toward townhomes, live -work
dwellings, hospital, park & ride, conference center, etc. The building types would
allow for additional building types. The building height would be up to six stories.
Regarding the Community Plan, this rezoning would fit the future land use — mixed use
urban core standard in the plan. Staff has reviewed the criteria for the rezoning and
the criteria is met. Staff recommended approval.
Scott Herring, 3280 Lily Mar Court, stated that this is the closest project to his
residence since he has live in Dublin (20+ years). He is concerned that there is no
project associated with this rezoning. He stated that the project should be examined
to ensure that it is appropriate for the area. If there is no project to consider; that is
concerning to him. He asked Council to proceed with caution. It seems strange. He is
concerned about a project up to six stories.
Ms. Kramb clarified some of the specifics of the current zoning versus the proposed
zoning for Mr. Herring. This proposed rezoning would allow a six -story building. She
expressed her concern about the residents on Martin Place and Lily Mar Court not
receiving notification of the rezoning when it is in such close proximity to their homes.
She also expressed concern regarding the elevation of this site and what a six -story
building would look like with that elevation. She is against allowing six stories in this
area. It is not appropriate for this area. It should be more of a transition.
Ms. Groomes stated that it is a challenge to do a rezoning without considering a
potential project. There may be areas on this parcel where six stories are appropriate,
and there are some areas on this parcel where it is not appropriate. She suggested
that it is important to maintain a very clear record for the individual/entity that is
requesting the rezoning of what the expectations are. All the areas are not treated
equal. She agreed with Ms. Kramb that there are many places on this parcel where six
stories is not appropriate.
Ms. Rauch stated that the applicant, Don Brogan, Crawford Hoying, is present. She
also stated that notice was provided to property owners within 300 feet of the

boundary of this site. She also clarified that the building height is the maximum that is
permitted. It still depends on the development and would go through the
development process. There will be many opportunities through the public review
process for any project to be throroughly vetted.
Vice Mayor De Rosa sought clarification regarding there being an applicant but no
project to review. Ms. Rauch stated that Crawford Hoying made the request for the
rezoning, so they are the applicant. Vice Mayor De Rosa asked about the definition of
the building types: corridor and podium apartment. Ms. Rauch stated that she can
provide additional detail at the second reading, but did note that within Bridge Street
there are a variety of building types and depending on their location and the uses that
will be located within there, a particular building type would be selected. She stated
she would bring more detail back on those.
Vice Mayor De Rosa stated that mixed heights make sense, but there needs to be a
mix and a balance with consideration of what it backs up to.
Ms. Alutto stated that saying these things out loud helps to ensure that the
conversation is heard and known so when a project comes forward, we can reference
the conversation and thoughts of Council.
Mayor Fox stated that within the Bridge Street Code there are protections when
building adjacent to residential, does that apply here? Ms. Rauch stated that she
would double check to confirm. The development pattern that the code outlines and
the building types dictate how the site is developed. Mayor Fox stated that she
appreciates the conversation to make sure we protect the residents.
Ms. Amorose Groomes stated that this area had the designated zoning district it had
for preservation of the existing conditions to allow them to continue to operate and do
minor modifications to their business and the second was that when a redevelopment
came, they would have to apply for a rezoning so it would trigger a more robust
community conversation due to the residential impact. The difficulty is doing a
rezoning without the project. The intent was the rezoning and the project would come
together.
Don Brogan, Crawford Hoying, stated that projects have been discussed, but there are
other partners that they develop with, so this rezoning was an insurance to any
investors that the rezoning could be secured. The goal is to bring the Bridge Park
development to the other side of SR 161 and bring connectivity and pedestrian
connectivity to this side of SR 161.
Ms. Amorose Groomes stated th at she understood, but she wanted him to hear from
Council that they need any development to be sensitive to the residential areas around
it.
Mr. Brogan stated that he is very aware of the public process and is understanding of
Council's concerns.
The second reading/public hearing of Ordinance 02-22 is scheduled for the March 21,
2022 meeting.

Resolution 11-22
Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for the 2022 Central Landscape
Maintenance and Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into Contract for the
Project
Ms. Alutto introduced the Resolution.
Mr. Anderson stated that the City contracted with Five Seasons Landscape
Management, LLC (Five Seasons) for landscape maintenance services in the Central
Landscape Maintenance Area and although the contract contains a one-year renewal
option, Five Seasons chose not to exercise the option due to budget concerns. Two
bids were received, and staff opened the bids on February 17, 2022. Brightview
Landscapes, LLC is the low bidder with a bid of $299,910.00. Bids for this contract
also provided unit costs for any additional emergency repair work, mulching, or
mowing as directed by the City to maintain the appropriate appearance levels. Staff
recommended adoption of Resolution 11-22, accepting as lowest and best, the bid by
Brightview Landscapes, LLC for the Central Landscape Maintenance Contract.
There were no public comments.
Ms. Amorose Groomes asked about turf applications for fertilizing. She did not see any
fertilization of trees and shrubs in the contract. Is there a thought to introducing plant
bed tree fertilization? Mr. Anderson stated that he would look into that moving
forward. She feels it is affecting street trees. Mr. Anderson stated that the forestry
team does provide injections and treatments depending upon what is needed. Ms.
Amorose Groomes recommended that it be put down before the mulch and using a
time -release type fertilizer.
Mr. McDaniel asked if this were to be a separate contract or part of this contract. Ms.
Amorose Groomes stated that this would likely be a supplemental contract because it is
dependant on your inventory.

COUNCIL REPORTS
• Committees
o Administrative Committee: Vice Mayor De Rosa stated annual reviews
will be happening tomorrow (March 8). She thanked the Board and
Commission applicants for applying and volunteering to serve their
community.
o Public Services Committee: No report
o Finance Committee: No report.
o Community Development Committee: Mr. Reiner stated that the
Community Development Committee met on February 22nd to discuss
the non-residential for sale/lease signs provisions within the temporary
sign ordinance. Staff provided background and details of the draft
revisions to the Code, which were based on several collaborative
meetings with commercial real estate representatives. Staff outlined the
goal of the amendments were to balance Council's concerns about
temporary sign aesthetics, clutter and longevity with real estate
representative's need to identify and market non-residential properties.
The proposed amendments provided for increased quality in sign design
and appearance with a uniform sign design while maintaining size and
height limitations and allowing for additional duration. The Committee
was supportive of the proposed revisions, which included:
• One sign per parcel with an additional sign for parcels with
freeway frontage to allow for additional visibility.
• Similar sign sizes and heights were recommended compared to
the approved regulations.
• Require a uniform sign design with green background with white
lettering. Sample designs were shared with the Committee.
The Committee discussed the duration limitation with the commercial
real estate representatives and recommended a sign duration of one
year with the option for an annual renewal. The Committee found that
the duration would be offset by the enforcement of a high quality,
uniform sign design. Based on the Committee's feedback, Staff will
introduce a draft Ordinance for Council's consideration at the March 211
meeting.
