At that time, Council requested that the Code amendment be reformatted to provide more consistent language throughout all residential zoning districts. Planning has reformatted the Code language to address Council's comments. Summary This is a request for review and recommendation for amendments to the permitted and conditional use provisions for residential districts of the Dublin Zoning Code to provide two modifications: • to change religious uses from a permitted use to a conditional use in residential districts and include certain development requirements for review by the Planning and Zoning Commission for all conditional uses within these districts; and • to allow' type B childcare as a permitted use when accessory to the use of a dwelling, which is currently only permitted through a conditional use process. First Reading -City Council Comments This ordinance was introduced at the August 3, 2009 City Council meeting. City Council discussed whether it was appropriate for the Code modification to require more stringent standards for religious uses than for other conditional uses currently included in the residential zo~ung districts. Council's direction addressed "institutional" uses, which in the Zoning Code is an umbrella term for a wide range of uses, including public and private schools. To include the broader range of uses has a significantly greater effect on the various school systems in the City. After discussion with the City Manager and Law Director, it is recommended that the scope of this particular amendment be limited to religious uses, and that the broader scope of other institutional related uses be addressed in the Code update. To address the issue of treating all conditional uses in a similar manner, the proposed Code language was modified to apply the review standard proposed for churches to all conditional uses listed in the residential districts. The R, Rural District and the R-12, Urban Residential District, the only two districts that have conditional uses other than religious uses, will be affected by this change. Description Religioa~s Uses The proposed language covers all existing residential districts where religious uses are currently Permitted Uses, including the R, Rural District; R-1, Restricted Suburban Residential District; R-2, Memo re. Ordinance 41-09(Amended) -Code Amendment re. Institutional Uses September 3, 2009 Page 2 of 2 Limited Suburban Residential District; R-3, Suburban Residential District; R-4, Suburban Residential; R-10, Two-Family Residential District; and the R-12, Urban Residential District. The amendment moves these uses to the conditional use section of each district In addition, a specific provision was added to all conditional uses that would allow the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider the design, materials, bulk, and height of the buildings to determine whether they are compatible with surrounding development. This language is very similar to a review standard used in Planned Districts [Section 153.052 (B)(3)(b)(2)]. Child Care This amendment corrects a provision in the Code regarding "family" day care zoning to conform to the Ohio Revised Code for these uses. In particular, the ORC provision does not permit conditional use procedures for family day care homes. Family day care includes residences providing these services for not more than six children. Therefore, at the advice of the Law Director, this Code amendment is offered to ensure that the City of Dublin Zoning Code conforms to requirements of the Ohio Revised Code. History This case originated at City Council in conjunction with discussion of the rezoning application for the Indian Run Methodist Church. At first reading of this rezoning request on May 14, 2009, Planning noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission had concerns regarding the inability to review site and architectural features of proposed churches, especially in residential areas. Council shared these concems, and the City Manager suggested creating an approval process for churches, such as a conditional use, in standard zoning districts where these uses are currently permitted by right. In fact, this is a common zoning practice. Planning has also discussed with The Law Director the need to coiYect a provision in the Code regarding "family" day care zoning to conform to the Ohio Revised Code. It is important to note that this Code modification only pertains to day care services, defined above as "type B family day care" facilities as opposed to commercial day care centers. Recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commissio^ The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request on July 9, 2009 and recommended approval to Council with one modification. The current language of the Dublin Zoning Code requires that outdoor areas associated with family day care uses be "enclosed with a chain link fence or its equivalent in strength and protective character to a height of four feet, but not more than six feet." The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that this language be modified to state that the fence meet the current requirements of the Code, which would limit the height to four feet and would preclude chain link fences. The cun-ent language submitted to City Council reflects this modification. Recommendation Subsequent to the first and second readings, the proposed language has been modified to allow the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider the design, materials, bulk, and height of the buildings to determine whether they are compatible with surrounding development for all conditional uses in residential districts. Planning recommends City Council approval of amended Ordinance 41-09 at the second reading/public hearing on September 8, 2009.
