Grigsby, City Manager 'MW Date: January 23, 2014 Initiated By: Steve Langworthy, Director of Land Use and Long Range Planning Jennifer M. Rauch, AICP, Planner II Re: Ord. 70 -13 - Rezoning Approximately 10.5 acres, Located on the West Side of Paul Blazer Parkway, between the Intersections of Rings Road and Parkcenter Circle from PCD, Planned Commerce District (Tuttle Crossing /I -270, Subarea 5A) to PUD, Planned Unit Development District (Tuttle Crossing /I -270, Subarea 5A) to Modify the Development Text and Preliminary Development Plan regarding Sign and Parking Requirements. (Case 13- 056Z /PDP) Summary Ordinance 70 -13 is a request for review and approval of a rezoning with preliminary development plan for a 10.5 -acre site to modify the parking and sign provisions within the development text and a reconfiguration of the parking lot and sign plan within the preliminary development plan (Tuttle Crossing Subarea 5A plan). This ordinance was introduced at the August 12, 2013 City Council meeting. The site is on the west side of Paul Blazer Parkway, between Rings Road and Parkcenter Circle. Design Alternative At first reading, Council expressed concerns regarding the proposed site design and the removal of landscape areas and significant trees to allow additional parking spaces. The applicant has continued to work on design alternatives and has revised the site plan to reorient the proposed parking spaces in the northern portion of the site, and provide increased landscape areas and additional tree replacement within the parking lot. Parking Lot Modifications The applicant revised the proposal to reconfigure the northern parking area, retain more standard sized parking spaces, and include fewer compact sized parking spaces. The revised submission results in an additional 106 parking spaces for a total of 677 spaces or a ratio of 5.8 spaces per 1,000 square feet, which is six fewer spaces than the original proposal. Code requires four spaces per 1,000 square feet, or 466 spaces for this building. The site currently has 571 spaces, which is a ratio of 4.9 spaces per 1,000 square feet. The proposed modifications to the northern parking area include a reconfiguration of the parking fields to a north -south orientation. This modification allows for continuous drive aisles that connect with the existing parking bays located to the south, larger landscape islands at the end of each parking row, and a larger consolidated landscape island in the center of this parking area. The revised submittal also retains a set of landscape islands that were removed in the adjacent parking field. Code requires interior landscaping for vehicular use areas, but does not require a specific number of interior landscape islands per number of parking spaces. All proposed parking lot modifications meet Code for interior landscape requirements. Memo re. Ordinance 70 -13 Rezoning with Preliminary Development Plan Tuttle Crossing /I -270, Subarea 5A PCD January 23, 2014 Page 2of2 Tree Removal and Replacement The Zoning Code requires protected trees (trees six inches in diameter and in good or fair condition) be replaced on an inch - for -inch basis with deciduous trees. The revised submittal shows the removal of 16 trees totaling 264 inches, reduced from the original submittal of 18 trees totaling 280 inches. The Planning and Zoning Commission attached a condition that required the applicant to provide a complete replacement of trees removed, regardless of tree condition, which equaled 280 inches. The applicant revised the text to address this condition and now requires the total number of inches removed to be replaced, regardless of condition. The revisions to the site design and parking lot layout provide an opportunity to increase the number of replacement trees located on the site. The original submittal included 20 replacement trees, while the revised plans indicate 60 replacement trees located throughout the site. Signs Council expressed concerns about the proposed sign package outlined in the development text. The applicant has provided preliminary sign details for Council's reference. Final details will be approved as part of the final development plan review by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Revised Rezoning with Preliminary Development Plan Conditions 1. The development text and plans be modified to require the total inch replacement for the trees for the site regardless of condition, which would require the replacement of 280 inches as shown on the preliminary development plan and any additional inches identified for removal on the final development plan or during construction. 2. The removal of the open space and trees and replacement with parking only be accomplished should the applicant determine this is necessary once a tenant(s) is secured and written documentation of need is provided from the owner. 3. The trees planted on site be staggered along the perimeter of the parking areas, to the extent possible to fill in the sparse areas. 4. One of the two proposed signs located along the Parkcenter Circle frontage be eliminated. 5. The overall height of the canopy sign be limited to 15 feet. 6. A final sign plan be presented as part of the final development plan. 7. The applicant eliminate the provisions for a tenant sign on the building elevation. 8. The applicant work to relocate the amenities from the open space area elsewhere on the site, should the area be removed. Recommendation Planning recommends City Council approval of Ordinance 70 -13. As Submitted to City Council — January 27, 2014 DEVELOPMENT TEXT .January 17, 2014 Subarea A5 -5515 Parkcenter Circle Introduction: The site comprises +/- 10.5 acres and contains a three -story corporate office building of approximately 116,500 square feet. The site, as originally planned, zoned and constructed in 1996 was owned by Duke and contained a single -user, BMW Financial Services. BMW Financial Services vacated the building in 2006. The building was then sold to CareyBPDublin, LLC which was a partnership between Edward Carey and GE, who leased the building to Nationwide Insurance from 2006 to 201 1. In the summer of 2011, GE became sole Owners of the property and Nationwide vacated later that year, on 9/30/1 1 which was not anticipated. Since that time, the Owner has actively marketed the property in hopes of finding a single tenant user which has not occurred. There has been "real" interest with smaller users, and if the owner is going to compete with that market and attract smaller tenants, this will require additional parking and signage. Development Standards: In addition to the general standards of the Tuttle Crossing PCD text and plan, this Subarea shall be subject to the following requirements within that specific Subarea.

Grigsby, City Manager\(Xk,�- Date: August 8, 2013 Initiated By: Steve Langworthy, Director of Land Use and Long Range Planning Jennifer M. Rauch, AICP, Planner II Re: Ord. 70 -13 - Rezoning approximately 10.5 acres, located on the west side of Paul Blazer Parkway, between the intersections of Rings Road and Parkcenter Circle from PCD, Planned Commerce District (Tuttle Crossing /I -270, Subarea 5A) to PUD, Planned Unit Development District (Tuttle Crossing /I -270, Subarea 5A) to modify the development text and preliminary development plan regarding sign and parking requirements (Case 13- 056Z /PDP) Summary Ordinance 70 -13 is a request for review and approval of a rezoning with preliminary development plan for a 10.5 -acre site to modify the parking and sign provisions within the development text and a reconfiguration of the parking lot and sign plan within the preliminary development plan (Tuttle Crossing Subarea 5A plan). The site is located on the west side of Paul Blazer Parkway, between Rings Road and Parkcenter Circle. Background In 2003, City Council approved a rezoning to create Subarea 5A within the Tuttle Crossing /I -270 Planned Commerce District, which included the approval of a development plan to permit two multi - tenant ground signs for BMW Financial. Economic Development Considerations A large portion of Dublin's Class -A office buildings were built in the late 1990s and early 2000s with a parking ratio of 4.5 to 5.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet, which was considered ample, if not generous parking at the time and met Code requirements. As office system designs and the nature of work have changed due to technology advancements, companies are leasing 20 percent less office space for the same number of employees now than five years ago. These changes place more employees in smaller, more efficient work stations and open environments, while reducing costs for leasing, utilities, and taxes, among others. Currently, many larger blocks of empty office space in Dublin are unable to meet today's increased parking demands, because the existing parking is provided under the traditional parking ratio and does not account for an increased number of employees on the same site that previously employed fewer people. This significantly reduces Dublin's competitiveness in the marketplace, especially for larger buildings. In the last 18 months, at least six companies interested in large blocks of office space have come to Economic Development and requested a minimum of 5.5 to 6.0 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet. This data point alone has eliminated Dublin from numerous large -user site searches, dramatically changing the competitiveness of Dublin's large Class -A office facilities. Memo re. Ordinance 70 -13 - Rezoning with Preliminary Development Plan Tuttle Crossing /I -270, Subarea 5A PCD August 8, 2013 Page 2of5 The applicant has provided information that three major opportunities to attract tenants to this building have been lost in the last three years due to the inability to meet desired parking ratios. Description Site The site contains two vacant buildings connected by an atrium, totaling 116,500 square feet, located in the south portion of the property. Access is provided from Atrium and Paul Blazer Parkways. A jogged western property line is along Atrium Parkway /Rings Road with parking restrictions through existing access easements. Floodplain is located in the northeastern portion of the site. Off -site, regional stormwater pond is located in the northwest corner of site with significant mounding along Rings Road and Paul Blazer Parkway. The site is surrounded by office uses within the Tuttle Crossing /I -270 Planned Commerce District. The Washington Township Fire Department Station #95 is located to the northeast, across Paul Blazer Parkway. Development Text and Preliminary Development Plan The proposal includes modifications to the development text for the parking and sign provisions and a reconfiguration of the parking lot and sign plan within the preliminary development plan. Signs The existing, approved development text addresses signs for single- tenant occupancy with user - specific design provisions: • two ground signs totaling 52 square feet (26 square feet each) and 10 feet tall • Four colors were permitted • Secondary image was permitted at 26% of permitted sign face • All future signs required review and approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The proposal seeks to address the need for building and individual tenant identification. Based on Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation the applicant has modified the development text, which includes three sign types: monument, canopy, and directional. Type Monument Canopy C Directional Internal External Number 2 2 3 1 Area (sq. ft.) 50 24" each 6 4 Height (ft.) 10 15 6 3 The applicant is proposing one monument sign at the Blazer Parkway entrance and one along Parkcenter Circle. The proposed text permits a sign design that accommodates a single or multi - tenant arrangement. Two canopy signs are proposed within the text for the main building entrances along Atrium Parkway. The proposed signs would identify each building in case multiple tenants occupy the buildings and consist only of address numbers and street name with a maximum letter height of 24 inches and an overall sign height of 15 feet. Memo re. Ordinance 70 -13 - Rezoning with Preliminary Development Plan Tuttle Crossing /I -270, Subarea 5A PCD August 8, 2013 Page 3of5 The proposed text permits internal and external directional signs. The preliminary development plan shows the internal signs placed at the three building entrances. They are proposed at six square feet and six feet in height, and will include the tenant name, suite and floor number. The external directional sign is shown at the southwest corner of the property along Parkcenter Circle prior to the Atrium Parkway intersection. It is proposed at four square feet and three feet in height with only the building address, which meets the Code requirements for directional signs. Parking Modifications The required parking ratio for this site is four spaces per 1,000 square feet, or 466 spaces. The 571 existing parking spaces equal a ratio of 4.9 spaces per 1,000. All parking spaces are currently nine feet by 20 feet. The proposed modifications to the development text and preliminary development plan include: 1) a decrease in size in the parking space width from 9 feet to 8.5 feet; 2) the removal of interior landscape islands; and 3) a reconfiguration of the north parking area, removing an existing open space. The proposed modifications could result in an additional 112 parking spaces for a total of 665 parking spaces at ratio of 5.9 spaces per 1,000. Parking Space Width and Interior Island Modifications The proposal development text decreases the width of 454 parking spaces from 9 feet to 8.5 feet. The proposal development plan includes the removal of a series of interior landscape islands located within the middle portions of the parking bays and along the eastern parking lot edge. Code does not specify a number of interior landscape islands per number of parking spaces, only an overall provision of landscape within the parking lot. With the removal of these islands, the proposal would continue to meet Code for interior landscape requirements. Open Space Modifications The proposal provides for the removal of the large open space area within the north parking area. The open space area contains a significant number of landmark trees and has served as an outdoor amenity for this site with picnic tables. The applicant has provided a detailed arborist study regarding the existing trees, and Planning met with the applicant on site to review the results. The study identified that five of the seven trees within this area are in poor condition and recommended they be removed. Planning and Economic Development identified significant concerns regarding the removal of the trees and the open space area for this site and its potential effects on the policies noted below. A variety of options were discussed with the applicant to find an alternative layout that would preserve this area and meet their parking needs. Three factors limited the potential alternatives: The recorded cross access easement with the property owner to the west does not permit parking; The west access drive for the property is part of the adjacent parcel; and The northeast corner of the property is located in the floodplain and floodway. Although there is a desire to retain the open space area and the trees, previous development plan approvals and the Code do not require it. Staff considered the poor condition of these trees and recommended approval of the proposed modifications. This recommendation recognized that there were serious policy concerns that needed to be discussed, and as part of the Planning Report and the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting there was significant policy discussion regarding this proposal. Memo re. Ordinance 70 -13 - Rezoning with Preliminary Development Plan Tuttle Crossing /I -270, Subarea 5A PCD August 8, 2013 Page 4 of 5 Planning highlighted that Dublin places significance on the preservation of trees and site design to ensure the community's high quality standards. This proposal brings forward a significant policy discussion raised by the economic development considerations noted earlier. These posture the following questions: • Does this proposal present sufficient examples of site modifications that should be permitted to make a site more viable, even though they may run counter to the current intent of the Code and the character defined by the City; or • Should the City continue with its current practices and Code and accept that this may result in a less competitive economic development environment? Planning and Zoning Commission had significant discussion about the existing trees and expressed concern about the removal of the open space area and the landmark trees, recognizing the uniqueness of this area. The Commission discussed the change in the economic environment and the impacts and limitations on existing sites. Given the poor condition of the trees within the open space area and the option for deferred parking lot modifications, the Commission determined the proposal to be appropriate and recommended approval of the removal of the open space and the trees. Tree Removal and Preservation The Zoning Code requires protected trees (trees six inches in diameter and in good or fair condition) be replaced on an inch - for -inch basis with deciduous trees. The applicant is proposing to relocate 18 trees on the site due to the removal and modification to the landscape islands. The proposal also includes the removal of 17 trees for 280 inches, of which 131 inches need to be replaced per Code. The 17 trees proposed to be removed include trees within the open space area and elsewhere on the site. As part of the Commission review, Planning identified several alternatives for the Commission to consider with this proposal, which included the following: 1) Require the total 280 inches of tree replacement for the site regardless of condition. 2) Require only the 213 inches replacement for the large trees within the open space regardless of condition. 3) Approve the removal of the open space and trees within this area as an alternative. Should the applicant determine this not be necessary once a tenant is secured, they would not be required to construct the additional parking within this area. Planning recommended implementing alternatives 2 and 3, as the site is unique and contains a number of significant trees that should be replaced, and the proposed removal of the open space and trees should only occur upon securing a tenant(s) that require additional parking. Planning and Zoning Commission recommended alternatives 1 and 3, requiring all inches on site be removed regardless of tree condition. The proposed development text has been modified to include this condition. Recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission On July 18, 2013, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval to City Council of the rezoning /preliminary development plan with the conditions listed below. All conditions have been addressed. Memo re. Ordinance 70 -13 - Rezoning with Preliminary Development Plan Tuttle Crossing /I -270, Subarea 5A PCD August 8, 2013 Page 5 of 5 Rezoning with Preliminary Development Plan Conditions 1. The development text and plans be modified to require the total inch replacement for the trees for the site regardless of condition, which would require the replacement of 280 inches as shown on the preliminary development plan and any additional inches identified for removal on the final development plan or during construction. 2. The removal of the open space and trees and replacement with parking only be accomplished should the applicant determine this is necessary once a tenant(s) is secured and written documentation of need is provided from the owner. 3. The trees planted on site be staggered along the perimeter of the parking areas, to the extent possible to fill in the sparse areas. 4. One of the two proposed signs located along the Parkcenter Circle frontage be eliminated. 5. The overall height of the canopy sign be limited to 15 feet. 6. A final sign plan be presented as part of the final development plan. 7. The applicant eliminate the provisions for a tenant sign on the building elevation. 8. The applicant work to relocate the amenities from the open space area elsewhere on the site, should the area be removed. Recommendation Planning recommends City Council approval of Ordinance 70 -13 at the second reading /public hearing on August 26, 2013.

The site, as originally planned, zoned and constructed in 1996 was owned by Duke and contained a single -user, BMW Financial Services. BMW Financial Services vacated the building in 2006. The building was then sold to CareyBPDublin, LLC which was a partnership between Edward Carey and GE, who leased the building to Nationwide Insurance from 2006 to 201 1. In the summer of 2011, GE became sole Owners of the property and Nationwide vacated later that year, on 9/30/1 1 which was not anticipated. Since that time, the Owner has actively marketed the property in hopes of finding a single tenant user which has not occurred. There has been "real" interest with smaller users, and if the owner is going to compete with that market and attract smaller tenants, this will require additional parking and signage.

Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle 13- O56Z /PDP Rezoning/ Preliminary Development Plan Chair Amorose Groomes introduced this application as a request for review and recommendation of approval to City Council for a rezoning with preliminary development plan regarding parking and sign requirements for an existing office building located on the north side of Parkcenter Circle, west of the intersection with Paul Blazer Parkway. Ms. Rauch stated the property located at 5515 Parkcenter Circle is framed by four roadways; three public: Rings Road to the north, Paul Blazer to the east and Parkcenter Circle to the south; and one private: Atrium Parkway to the west. She said the site is outlined in yellow and shows the unusual property lines, which limits the parking configurations and includes area in the southwestern portion with development that is not on their property. She said there are access and easement agreements that were established with the original development, which also limit parking locations. She said the site contains 116,000 square feet of building space with parking located to the south and west with the majority of it located to the north of the building. She indicated the areas in the northern portions of the site that includes the floodplain, a large open space area with significant landscaping, and the off -site storm water pond that serves this site and the surrounding properties. Ms. Rauch stated there are two major parts to this proposal: signs and parking lot with landscaping modifications. She said with regard to the signs the existing development text permits two monument signs with a total of 52 square feet, divided equally between the two signs, 10 feet in height, four colors and increased secondary image. She said the applicant is requesting a series of different signs. She said the applicant is proposing three monument signs, one at the main entrance off Blazer Parkway and two along Parkcenter Circle, one of which Planning recommends be removed. She said the applicant also indicated canopy signs, which would be address only signs with an increased letter height of 24 inches, where 18 inches would be permitted. She indicated the proposal includes a tenant wall sign along the western elevations, which Planning recommends removal. She said the final sign component is the proposed: one external directional sign located along Parkcenter Circle, which meets Code and three internal directional signs located at the building entrances, which could include tenant names and addresses. Ms. Rauch said the second part of the application, which includes more significant changes to the proposed parking provisions. She indicated Code requires parking for office at a ratio of 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet, with the site providing 571 spaces, at a ratio of almost 5 per 1,000. She said the applicant is requesting to provide parking at a ratio of almost 6 per 1,000. She said as outlined in the report, the request is related to changes in the development world where larger office buildings can lease less space and employee more people creating a need for additional parking. She indicated the applicant is proposing three modifications to create additional parking spaces. She said the northern parking area is proposed with a decrease in the width of the parking spaces from nine feet to 8.5 feet. She stated this method has been approved by the Commission for other buildings within the City. She said they are also proposing to remove interior landscape islands and based on the information provided the site will continue to meet the interior landscape requirements. She said Code does not identify where or how many spaces are required per landscape islands. Ms. Rauch the most significant change is the removal open space area in the northern parking area, which proposes the removal of existing landscaping and a significant number of landmark trees. She said the applicant has provided a detailed tree that identifies seven trees in that area, five of which are in poor condition and are recommended for removal. She said when staff reviewed this proposal there was very significant discussion about tree preservation and economic viability of a site. She stated that staff posed two discussion questions: does this proposal present sufficient examples of site modifications that should be permitted to make a site more viable even though they may run counter to the current intent of the Code and the character defined by the City; or Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission .July 18, 2013 — Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 5 should the City continue with its current practices and Code and accept that this may result in a less competitive economic development environment. She said based on these questions Planning did not review this proposal lightly or come to a recommendation quickly. She said staff worked with the applicant to determine if other alternatives would be feasible, but the site has a number of limitations, leaving the proposal as the most practical options. Ms. Rauch said Planning has identified several alternatives regarding the tree removal and replacement for the site and follows: 1) require the total inch replacement for the site regardless of tree condition. Meaning they would be required to replace 280 inches, 2) require the total inch replacement for the large trees within the open space regardless of condition only. Meaning they would be required to replace 213 inches, and 3) approve the removal of the open space and trees within this area as an alternative. Should the applicant determine this not be necessary once a tenant is secured they would not be required to construct the additional parking within this area. She said Planning recommends alternatives 2 and 3, which are incorporated in the proposed conditions. She said Planning also modified the second condition, the very last word regarding the documentation portion to be owner, instead of tenant. Ms. Rauch said Planning recommends approval of this Rezoning with a Preliminary Development Plan with six conditions: 1) The development text and plans be modified to require the total inch replacement for the trees (84- 97) within the open space regardless of condition, which would require the replacement of 213 inches. 2) The removal of the open space and trees and replacement with parking only be accomplished should the applicant determine this is necessary once a tenant(s) is secured and written documentation of need is provided from the owner. 3) The trees planted on site be staggered along the perimeter of the parking areas, to the extent possible to fill in the sparse areas. 4) One of the two proposed signs located along the Parkcenter Circle frontage be eliminated. 5) The overall height of the canopy sign be limited to 15 feet. 6) The applicant eliminate the provisions for a tenant sign on the building elevation. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if the applicant was present Mr. Ben Hale (37 West Broad Street, Columbus, OH) stated they agree with the conditions. He said over the last few years this property has been shown to a number of potential tenants, but nothing has been secured because the building did not have enough parking. He said these tenants would not consider the building if the site did not have the parking ratios. He said the applicant is in agreement they will not construct the additional parking unless it is determine to be needed. He said in order to attract a tenant they need the approval in place so we are able to offer them the additional parking. He stated they agree with the tree replacement as outlined by staff, but no changes will be made on this property until we have proven to the staff it is necessary for the tenant. He said the proposal meets the interior landscape requirements and lot coverage. He said the applicant has agreed to make the changes to the sign proposal as Planning recommends. Mr. Hale stated they desire better identification and the opportunity to permit multiple tenant options should the building be occupied with multiple tenants. He said they will return with a final development plan for signs, landscape and tree replacement details. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if anyone in attendance would like to speak with respect to this application. [There was none.] Ms. Kramb said she agreed with Planning to permit only two monument signs with the external directional sign with the address only, and agreed with removing the tenant sign. She confirmed the reduced parking space width had been approved before by the Commission and agreed with that modification. Ms. Kramb said agreed with the removal of the landscape islands, as long as the site Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission .July 18, 2013 — Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 5 continued to comply with Code. She raised concerns about removing the northern open space area with the landmark trees. She stated she thought there should be complete tree replacement regardless of condition. She said the open space area was originally an amenity, or a park and purposely located there and she could not imagine cutting down all of those trees. Mr. Hardt said this application general struck him, because the planning report included information from economic development stating different parking ratios are needed for office buildings today, which seems plausible. He said what is alarming is that two years ago the Commission reviewed a Code amendment to the parking provision that recommended the opposite. He said he thought it was an example of how careful we need to be when we proposing changes to the Code, because we were asked to do something a few years ago that was contrary to what the market is telling us. He said we disapproved the proposed modification for a variety of other reasons, but would have been interesting if they had been approved. Mr. Hardt stated that as far as this application is concerned, he wanted to confirm the interior landscape requirements and the overall lot coverage requirements per code would be met. Ms. Rauch confirmed his inquiry stating that the final interior landscape requirements would have to confirm at the final development plan stage, but based on the preliminary information the proposal would meet those requirements and the lot coverage requirements. Mr. Hardt asked for examples of other sites where the width of parking stalls have been reduced. Ms. Rauch stated Metro Place was one example. Ms. Husak listed IGS and stated a portion of their lot is identified for compact spaces. Mr. Hardt said he agreed with Planning on the use of only two monument signs, the removal of the tenant sign and the use of the canopy signs. He asked to review the final design of the canopy signs, because they can be done really elegantly or really badly. He said that he did not have a problem with the text saying the canopy signs are permitted as long as the signs are return for review. He requested a condition be drafted requiring the applicant to show the canopy sign details as part of the final development plan. Mr. Hardt said we have had a number of instances where various different companies have asked for relief to respond to current market conditions and I am supportive of that. He said we want to create an environment where we encourage businesses to locate and grow, but the piecemeal process to address the individual needs is not effective. He said we need to address these issues for parking and signs more holistically. He said we have a Code that is archaic and out of date and we should modify the entire Code once and for all. Mr. Hardt said as long as the proposal meets our landscape and parking lot requirements, and with the caveat that the open space area will not be removed until necessary, he was supportive of the application. Ms. Newell said she was in favor of the two monument signs. She said she did not expect the land to always stay exactly the way it is, but she was conflicted about removing the open space area. She said the only way she could support the proposal was because we were requiring the applicant to prove they absolutely need the parking before they remove the open space. She said she would the applicant to relocate the amenities from open space area and reincorporate them elsewhere on the site. Ms. Rauch suggested a condition of approval to work with the applicant to incorporate the amenities elsewhere on the site. Ms. Newell agreed. Mr. Budde stated there were a number of excellent comments and he finds that staff has done a good job of working with the applicant. He said he was supportive of the project and as it is a needed change given the difficulty in leasing the building. He said given the continued compliance with the Code he was supportive. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission .July 18, 2013 — Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 5 Mr. Fishman agrees with what everyone said, but he wished they could find another way or place to park the cars, such as a joint agreement with adjoining building. He recalled being on the Commission when the site was originally developed and several members were passionate about the trees and he would hate for them to be removed. He said he did not want to sacrifice the beauty of Dublin. He said he wanted to emphasize changing the Code decrease the size of the building and increase the amount of land for building sites. Mr. Taylor said he agreed with Mr. Hardt. He said it might be ok to remove the open space area in the overall scheme of things, if other things can happen. He said he agreed with Mr. Hardt about updating the Code. He asked the applicant to describe the character of the tenants who want this extra space. Mr. Chris Potts with Colliers International (6891 Old Court, Westerville) said this buildings been a project for Colliers for three years with Nationwide Insurance as the most recent tenant. He said in today's environment tenants want to drive more efficiency and productivity with their office space, which results in more employees needing more parking. He said they have been approached by adjacent building owners requesting shared parking agreements and we turned it down and we turned the income for the ownership, because we did not want to give up our parking. He said the same thing would happen if we approach Atrium II, because they have vacant space that needs to be filed. He said we are competing against each other with the same goal of leasing property and large vacancies in other markets. Mr. Potts said it is common practice for tenants viewing the market to say we have a parking requirement and your building is not even going to make the list because it does not meet our standards. He said the office space per person is decreasing and driving this need from tenants. Mr. Taylor said he did appreciate the two questions proposed on Page 8 as that is the core of the discussion. He thanked staff for identifying these. Ms. Amorose Groomes confirmed the proposal met the lot coverage requirements. Ms. Rauch said the proposal indicated 65 percent, where 75 percent is permitted. She said this would be verified in detail at the final development plan. Ms. Amorose Groomes stated a previous Commission worked hard to save the landmark trees and it is very difficult to think about removing them. She said the only redeeming quality to removing the trees is the type of trees that they are removing. She stated silver maples barely made her list of landmark trees because of their nature as trees with short life space and surface root systems. She said it is likely they did well here because they sit low on the site adjacent to the pond. She stated the only reason she was supportive of the tree removal was because they are silver maples, and if they were oak trees, or another type of maple tree it would be far more difficult. Ms. Amorose Groomes said we need a better long term solution and she believed structured parking was an answer. She said she was not inclined to save the parking lot islands because they are not inhabitable for trees unless we do some significant work to them. She said it is unfortunate, but the trees are not the best trees we could have for this site. Mr. Hardt said he would cast a positive vote for this proposal on the basis that the Code requirements for landscaping and lot coverage were met. Ms. Amorose Groomes said she would like to see an enhanced outdoor environment for the employees with the final development plan with additional site amenities. Mr. Fishman asked if the applicant was replacing the higher number of inches. Ms. Rauch said Planning recommended the replacement of 213 inches, which was not a complete replacement, it was replacement of those inches in the open space. She said the complete tree replacement is 280 inches of trees. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission .July 18, 2013 — Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 5 Mr. Fishman said the applicant should replace the 280 inches. Ms. Rauch said the 280 inches was for all the inches on the entire site that are removed, regardless of their condition. Ms. Rauch said the higher replacement number was an alternative provided by Planning, which the Commission could require. Ms. Amorose Groomes stated there is a lot of area on the site for tree replacement. Ms. Rauch agreed and identified that was the reason why Planning provided the Commission with an alternative. Ms. Amorose Groomes said because of the number of landmark trees proposed to be removed she felt the increased replacement was justified. Mr. Fishman said we do not want the fee paid in lieu, but the trees planted on the site. Ms. Rauch agreed, but stated there will come a point where a maximum number of trees can be provided on site with best management practices. Ms. Rauch clarified the conditions have been modified to reflect the Commissioners' discussion. Mr. Hale agreed to the conditions. Mr. Taylor made a motion to approve this Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan application with 8 conditions: 1. The development text and plans be modified to require the total inch replacement for the trees for the site regardless of condition, which would require the replacement of 280 inches as shown on the preliminary development plan and any additional inches identified for removal on the final development plan or during construction. 2. The removal of the open space and trees and replacement with parking only be accomplished should the applicant determine this is necessary once a tenant(s) is secured and written documentation of need is provided from the owner. 3. The trees planted on site be staggered along the perimeter of the parking areas, to the extent possible to fill in the sparse areas. 4. One of the two proposed signs located along the Parkcenter Circle frontage be eliminated. 5. The overall height of the canopy sign be limited to 15 feet. 6. A final sign plan be presented as part of the final development plan. 7. The applicant eliminate the provisions for a tenant sign on the building elevation. 8. The applicant work to relocate the amenities from the open space area elsewhere on the site, should the area be removed. Mr. Fishman seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Ms. Kramb, no; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Mr. Hardt, yes; Mr. Budde, yes; Ms. Newell, yes; Mr. Fishman, yes; and Mr. Taylor, yes. (Approved 6 — 1.)

I Economic A large portion of Dublin's Class -A office buildings were built in the late Development 1990s and early 2000s with a parking ratio of 4.5 to 5.0 spaces per 1,000 City of Dublin I Planning and Zoning Commission Case 13- 056Z /PDPI Tuttle Crossing /I -270 PCD Thursday, July 18, 20111 Page 5 of 14 Facts Considerations square feet, which was considered ample, if not generous parking at the time and met Code requirements. 11 As office system designs and the nature of work have changed due to technology advancements, companies are leasing 20% less office space for the same number of employees now than 5 years ago. These changes place more employees in smaller, more efficient work stations and open environments, while reducing costs for leasing, utilities, and taxes, among others. Currently, many larger blocks of empty office space in Dublin are unable to meet today's increased parking demands, because the existing parking is provided under the traditional parking ratio and do not account for increase number of employees on the same site that previously employed fewer people. This significantly reduces Dublin's competitiveness in the marketplace, especially for larger buildings. In the last 18 months, at least 6 companies interested in large blocks of office space have come to Economic Development and requested a minimum of 5.5 to 6.0 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet. This data point alone has eliminated Dublin from numerous large -user site searches, dramatically changing the competitiveness of Dublin's large Class -A office facilities. The applicant has provided information that three major opportunities to attract tenants to this building have been lost in the last three years due L to the inability to meet desired parking ratios. Details � Rezoning with Preliminary Development Plan Proposal The proposal includes modifications to the development text for the parking and sign provisions and a reconfiguration of the parking lot and sign plan within the preliminary development plan. Existing Sign The existing approved development text addresses signs for single- tenant Provisions occupancy with user - specific design provisions: • 2 ground signs totaling 52 square feet, 26 square feet each and 10 feet tall • Four colors were permitted • Secondary image was permitted at 26% of permitted sign face • All future signs required review and approval by the Commission. City of Dublin I Planning and Zoning Commission Case 13- 056Z /PDPI Tuttle Crossing /I -270 PCD Thursday, July 18, 20111 Page 6 of 14 Details Rezoning with Preliminary Development Plan Proposed Signs The proposal seeks to address the need for building and individual tenant identification. The proposed sign provisions outline four different types of signs: monument, canopy, tenant and directional. Summary: Proposed Signs Monument Signs Canopy Signs Tenant Signs Directional Signs Type Monument Canopy Tenant Directional Internal External Number 3 2 1 3 1 Area (sq. ft.) 50 24" each 60 6 4 Height (ft.) 10 15 - 6 3 The applicant is proposing one monument sign at the Blazer Parkway entrance and two along Parkcenter Circle. Planning recommends the applicant eliminate one of the Parkcenter Circle signs. The text permits a sign design that accommodates a single or multi- tenant arrangement. The applicant proposes two canopy signs on the main building entrances along Atrium Parkway to identify each building in case multiple tenants occupy the buildings. The proposed signs would consist only of address numbers and street name with a maximum letter height of 24 inches. Code permits address numbers at 18 inches tall based on the location of the property line; however, if measured from the edge of pavement along Atrium Parkway, the 24 inch height would be permitted. The text should be modified to limit the height of the canopy sign to 15 feet. A single tenant wall sign is also proposed on the building elevation facing Atrium Parkway. The proposed sign design permits a logo with letters with a maximum 24 inch letter height and 60 square feet in area. Planning recommends the removal of this proposed sign. The proposal includes internal and external directional signs. The internal signs will be placed at the three building entrances, north entrance and one at each Atrium Parkway entrance. They are proposed at 6 square feet and 6 feet in height, and will include the tenant name, suite and floor number. The external directional sign is proposed at the southwest corner of the property along Parkcenter Circle prior to the Atrium Parkway intersection. It is proposed at 4 square feet and 3 feet in height, with only the building address, which meets the Code requirements for directional signs. City of Dublin I Planning and Zoning Commission Case 13- 056Z /PDPI Tuttle Crossing /I -270 PCD Thursday, July 18, 20111 Page 7 of 14 Details = Rezoning with Preliminary Development Plan Existing Parking The required parking ratio for this site is 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet, or 466 spaces. The 571 existing parking spaces equal a ratio of 4.9 spaces per 1,000. The south parking area was constructed first and has 206 spaces. The north parking area has 365 spaces. All parking spaces are currently 9 feet by 20 feet. Summary of Proposed The proposed modifications to the development text and preliminary Parking Changes development plan include 1) a decrease in size in the parking space width; 2) the removal of interior landscape islands; and 3) a reconfiguration of the north parking area removing an existing open space. The proposed modifications could result in an additional 112 parking spaces for a total of 665 parking spaces at ratio of 5.9 spaces per 1,000. 1) Parking Space The proposal decreases the width of 454 parking spaces from 9 feet to Width 8.5 feet, with the proposed development text modified to permit the decrease in width. The remaining spaces in the shorter parking rows would continue to be 9 feet wide, because it requires 17 spaces in a row to gain one additional parking space. 2) Interior Landscape The proposal includes the removal of series of interior landscape islands Islands located within the middle portions of the parking bays and along the eastern parking lot edge. Code does not specify a number of interior landscape islands per number of parking spaces, but an overall provision of landscape within the parking lot. With the removal of these islands, the proposal would continue to meet the interior landscape requirements for the site. City of Dublin I Planning and Zoning Commission Case 13- 056Z /PDPI Tuttle Crossing /I -270 PCD Thursday, July 18, 20111 Page 8 of 14 Details Rezoning with Preliminary Development Plan 3) Open Space The proposal provides for the removal of the large open space area Removal within the north parking area. The open space area contains a significant number of landmark trees and acts as an outdoor amenity for this site with picnic tables. The applicant has provided a detailed arborist study regarding the existing trees and Planning has met with the applicant on site to review the results. The study identifies five of the seven trees within this area in poor condition and recommends they be removed. Dublin places significance on the preservation of trees and site design to ensure the community's high quality standards. This proposal brings forward a significant policy discussion raised by the economic development considerations noted earlier. These posture the following questions: • Does this proposal present sufficient examples of site modifications that should be permitted to make a site more viable even though they may run counter to the current intent of the Code and the character defined by the City; or • Should the City continue with its current practices and Code and accept that this may result in a less competitive economic development environment? Planning and Economic Development weighed these options and identified significant concerns regarding the removal of the trees and the open space area for this site and its potential effects on the policies noted. A variety of options were discussed with the applicant to find an alternative layout that would preserve this area and meet their parking needs. Three factors limited the potential alternatives: • The recorded cross access easement with the property owner to the west does not permit parking; • The west access drive for the property is part of the adjacent parcel; and • The northeast corner of the property is located in the floodplain and floodway. Although there is a desire to retain the open space area and the trees, previous development plan approvals and the Code do not require it. In addition, Staff considered the poor condit of these trees. City of Dublin I Planning and Zoning Commission Case 13- 056Z /PDPI Tuttle Crossing /I -270 PCD Thursday, July 18, 20111 Page 9 of 14 Details Rezoning with Preliminary Development Plan Tree Relocation, The applicant is proposing to relocate 18 trees on the site due to the Removal, and removal and modification to the landscape islands. The proposal also Replacement includes the removal of 17 trees for 280 inches, of which 131 inches need to be replaced. The 17 trees proposed to be removed include trees within the open space area and elsewhere on the site. Planning recommends the applicant stagger the relocated and replacement trees along the perimeter of the parking areas, to the extent possible to fill in the sparse areas and meet the intent of the interior landscape requirements to provide landscape and tree cover within the parking lot. Planning has identified several alternatives for the Commission to consider with this proposal. 1) Require the total inch replacement for the site regardless of tree condition. Meaning they would be required to replace 280 inches. 2) Require the total inch replacement for the large trees within the open space regardless of condition only. Meaning they would be required to replace 213 inches. 3) Approve the removal of the open space and trees within this area as an alternative. Should the applicant determine this not be necessary once a tenant is secured they would not be required to construct the additional parking within this area. Planning recommends implementing 2 and 3, as the site is unique and contains a number of significant trees that should be replaced, and the proposed removal of the open space and trees should only occur upon securing a tenant(s) that require additional parking. II Lot Coverage The development text permits lot coverage at 75 %, and 25% for building coverage. The proposal continues to meet these requirements with 65.7% total coverage. Stormwater The applicant has submitted a stormwater management report that demonstrates compliance with the City of Dublin Stormwater Manage C ode.

Planning also recommends the removal of the open space and trees within this Conditions 1 -3 area as an alternative. Should the applicant determine this not be necessary once a tenant(s) is secured they would not be required to construct the additional parking within this area and written documentation of need is provided from the tenant. The location of all the tree replacement on site should be done with the best horticultural practices in mind and any remaining inches would be need to fulfilled with a fee paid in lieu of tree replacement.

The PUD process can consist of up to three basic stages: 1) Concept Plan (Staff, Commission, and /or City Council review and comment); 2) Zoning Amendment Request (Preliminary Development Plan; Commission recommends and City Council approves /denies); and 3) Final Development Plan (Commission approves /denies). The general intent of the preliminary development plan (rezoning) stage is to determine the general layout and specific zoning standards that will guide development. The Planning and Zoning Commission must review and make a recommendation on this preliminary development plan (rezoning) request. The application will then be forwarded to City Council for a first reading /introduction and a second reading /public hearing for a final vote. A two - thirds vote of City Council is required to override a negative recommendation by the Commission. If approved, the rezoning will become effective 30 days following the Council vote. Additionally, all portions of the development will require final development plan approval by the Commission prior to construction. In the case of a combined rezoning /preliminary development plan and final development plan, the final development plan is not valid unless the rezoning /preliminary development plan is approved by Council. Review Criteria Section 153.050 of the Zoning Code identifies criteria for the review and approval for a Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan.

Revised Development Plan 02- 119RDP — Tuttle Crossing - BMW Financial Services Signage - 5515 Parkcenter Circle Chad Gibson said they will consider these applications together, but two motions are needed. He gave a shortened presentation because there are only three modifications to discuss. The case was advertised slightly different from what it actually is, and he noted that in the staff report. The package is actually two signs of 26 square feet, not 25 square feet as the original agenda noted. The two signs of 26 square feet total 52 square feet, not 62 square feet, as the report stated. This was tabled in December of 2002 and January 2003. The sign package has been revised. The two signs are identical, being 10 feet tall and 26 square feet in area. Each has 8.5 square feet of logo, which is 26 percent of the sign face. The rezoning text addresses this issue. One sign is now located along Park Center Circle. It is 12 feet tall and 46 square feet in area. 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary DevelopmeM"6Z/PDP (Wh'04 Rezoning /P �ent Plan nter �ircle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — March 6, 2003 Page 5 Mr. Gibson showed several slides. The site is zoned as part of two different PCDs. The site contains 10 acres and is located at the northwest corner of Blazer Parkway and Park Center Circle. He said the staff believes the proposed signage is in scale with a design that is consistent with the existing building. He said the rezoning process is the correct avenue for such a request that does not meet the existing text. The new zoning text limits this sign package to this tenant only. If BMW relocates, then the signage standards will revert to the existing text and code. Mr. Gibson asked to amend Condition 4 of the revised development plan in the staff report: "That the proposed text and/or plans be amended to include any added modifications requested by the Commission, prior to scheduling the public hearing at City Council." Mr. Gibson said staff recommends approval of the rezoning application with the four conditions: 1) That a sign permit be issued prior to installation; 2) That appropriate landscape plans be submitted for the bases of both signs; 3) That the site be brought into compliance with any outstanding landscaping violations by May 30,2003; and 4) That the proposed text and/or plans be amended to include any added modifications requested by the Commission, prior to scheduling the public hearing at City Council. Mr. Gibson said staff recommends approval of the revised development plan with four conditions (Condition 4 being amended): 1) That a sign permit be issued prior to installation; 2) That appropriate landscape plans be submitted for the bases of both signs; 3) That the site be brought into compliance with any outstanding landscaping violations by May 30, 2003; and 4) That the application be revised to conform to any modifications made by City Council to the rezoning application. Stephanie Augenstein, BMW Financial Services, spoke on behalf of Lindsay Duffield, thanking the Commission for its patience and commending the Planning staff. They worked hard on a proposal to get the staff recommendation and approval for their corporate identity department. They believe this is a wonderful compromise that appropriately presents their brand name image. Mr. Gerber thanked Ms. Augenstein for all the patience and hard work. He believes this fits within the process with respect to rezoning classifications. He thinks that the process works well here and he can support that. He also thinks that the sign meets the spirit and intent of the Code. Mr. Ritchie agreed and said this is a great improvement. He thanked Ms. Augenstein for the corporate efforts. He did not have a problem with the colors and thinks the Commission should use its discretion on that. The building and sign are very well done, very clean. Mr. Saneholtz said the sign fits the property and matches with the building and architecture. The site deserves two signs. Mr. Messineo agreed and said he can also support it. Mr. Zimmerman said the signage fits the site, which has 2,000 feet of frontage. He supports this. 13- 056ZIPDP Rezoning /Preliminary m Developme I ppa kcenter irclef 6Z /PDP Rezoning /P Plan ar center ��ircle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — March 6, 2003 Page 6 Mr. Sprague said he thinks the applications are legally sound.

Revised Development Plan 02- 119RDP — Tuttle Crossing - BMW Financial Services Signage - 5515 Parkcenter Circle Chad Gibson said this will be a combined PowerPoint presentation for these two cases, but separate motions and votes will be needed. He said these cases were tabled in December so that the applicant could revise the sign package per the Commission's direction. The redesign of the sign package contains the same elements, but they are in a lower horizontal format. The existing sign is located on Parkcenter Circle at the southern edge of the site. The land carries two different office zoning districts. It includes portions of the Tuttle Crossing and Helmbright/Pagura PCDs. A new Subarea A5 is proposed within the Tuttle Crossing PCD. Mr. Gibson said the existing sign will be removed. A new one in its place and a second sign along Blazer Parkway are proposed. The existing office building is 121,870 square feet in area. The proposed sign is approximately 5' 11" tall and 33.75 feet in area. It will retain the three - panel design. It is approximately six feet lower, and the secondary image has been reduced to 39 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary Developme P ParkcenterCircl,3 Z/PDP Rezoning /PM�Sipi}k I Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle the law office revised final,, discussion f� l into the end of velopm t Plan 02 -059 P — Muirfield quare — 6025 -6 9 said a Commission d asked Counc' to have the law tce ;vis final develop nt plan approve on August 8, 2 2.

Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — January 9, 2003 Page 3 percent which is still higher than Code and the text permits. The second sign is slightly shorter at 5' 5" tall and approximately 25 square feet in area with the same three elements. Mr. Gibson said staff believes the proposed design does not follow the Commission's direction from last month. The staff report suggests a few design modifications to bring the proposal more in line with other adjacent sites. Based on the sign package submitted, he said staff recommends this application remain tabled. A new design is needed as requested by the Commission. He said a solid base would give one unifying feature, and the material should match the building. Also, one sign panel with all messages, instead of three panels, should be used. Lindsay Dutfield, BMW Financial Services, showed a PowerPoint presentation and distributed copies. He asked for specific design guidance. He said the original sign proposed was their corporate standard, and the revision that was submitted is generally a dealership sign. They thought the horizontal version might be more appropriate. They have to please Dublin, which has very, very strict zoning control, as well as the corporation. He said everyone believes that control contributes to the high quality of life and aesthetics in Dublin, and the corporation has equally high standards for corporate identification. They believe that is very much responsible for their success worldwide. He said any change requires a variance from his internal corporate identification group and design company in New Jersey and perhaps Munich. His senior executives are coming to Dublin for a visit and will expect corporate identification signage. Mr. Dutfield said BMW has hundreds of pages of rules for identification signage, and none permit altering the roundel or the logos. A pylon is really the important signage element. A secondary image in Dublin is considered BMW's primary image, and their name is secondary in all corporate identification. He asked for an approval tonight with specific conditions that he can transmit for his internal approval process for signage. He said the address is not on the sign. Mr. Saneholtz said technical sign questions and interpretations should be directed to the professional planners, not the Commissioners. The Commission should not redesign the sign. Ms. Boring agreed. She felt the Commission's guidance was clear from the last meeting, and staff is available to work with the applicant. She agreed with the staff recommendations. Mr. Gerber said the staff previously recommended approval, and now the recommendation is to table it for more work. Mr. Gibson agreed. Mr. Gerber said when it was tabled, it did not appear that the Commission was moving toward approval, but there were many comments and input. Mr. Saneholtz said this should go back to the staff. The Commission is not equipped to design it. Mr. Sprague agreed and said the Commission does not do its best work trying to design projects in the meeting. He noted that significant guidance was already given to the applicant. Mr. Gerber did not think it was the Commission's role to redesign the sign tonight. When the staff report recommended approval, the Commission cut that apart and was not leaning toward approval. Now, the staff wants tabling. He said direction is needed from all Commissioners. Mr. Sprague said they lowered the sign by using a horizontal sign, and it could be reworked as a monument to blend with the area. He thought the three separate panels should be condensed into one, with a smaller roundel. The signage could be moved back and incorporate thematic elements of the building. They might discuss if chrome is a color in the spirit of the Sign Code. 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary Developme C Tg Z /PDP Rezoning /PP rkcenter ircl nt Plan � � Yi c�Q p .I Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — January 9, 2003 Page 4 Mr. Saneholtz suggested that the number of colors be reduced to three to meet the maximum number permitted in the Code. He said a solid based monument sign was necessary, and the logo symbols should be reduced to 20 percent of the sign face to meet Code. Mr. Gibson said internal illumination was not an issue, as long as the background is opaque. Mr. Saneholtz said the Commission was responsible for carrying out the Code, and the staff is to interpret the Code. He said straying greatly from the Code is not the Commission's mission. The Codes were developed to help build a quality first -rate community for Dublin's corporate partners and citizens. The Commission is to protect that, and Mr. Dutfield's charge is to project the best image possible about their product. He said the Commission respects that very much, and he hopes that BMW respects the Commission's desire to stay true to its charge. He said BMW was a wonderful corporate organization, but this proposal is not the answer. Mr. Zimmerman asked which orientation is preferred. Mr. Gibson said a monument -style sign would match the vicinity. Mr. Zimmerman said this building has a unique and bold look, and a vertical sign might fit its character better. He said the images should be reduced to meet Code. Mr. Dutfield said they preferred the vertical sign as presented at the last meeting. Mr. Ritchie preferred the vertical sign, but the two logos and their size are problems. Building materials or colors could be incorporated into the sign base. The logos should not dominate it. Mr. Gerber preferred the pylon previously proposed. He agreed with Mr. Ritchie that the logos were too dominant, regardless of orientation. He said Dublin's Sign Code was designed to identify, not to advertise. "BMW Group Financial Services" placed over the logos would be fine. He said the intent of the Code is very clear regarding colors, but he personally did not have a problem with four colors. The logos must be downsized, and the sign should be designed for identification of the location as opposed to an advertisement. This is not a dealership. Mr. Saneholtz said on North High Street, north of Old Worthington there is a Blue Cross/Blue Shield Anthem building. He suggested that sign as what he envisioned. Ms. Boring cared about the overall product, not whether it is vertical or horizontal. She said when the Commission first reviewed the building, it expressed concern that no sign plans had been submitted. They should have been submitted at that point so they could be coordinated with the building. She said the use of similar material is very important. Ms. Boring said as a Council member, she attended a function where one BMW executive profusely complimented Dublin on the quality of our community. He said he could tell immediately when he entered Dublin by the very high quality. Ms. Boring said Dublin and BMW match each other and belong together, and both reflect similar quality levels. Other corporations have been asked to follow the Sign Code to maintain that high community quality that BMW needs as well. She noted the clear purpose of signage was for identification. Mr. Dutfield said they loved Dublin. However, they have had difficulty on various issues and the Munich office has asked why they stay here. He said the sign includes three colors, plus 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary Developmentt I��QQ a kcenter Ircle 07176 t Plan Rezoning/ F��ent Plan Parkcenter ircle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — January 9, 2003 Page 5 black and that a vertical sign is preferred. The biggest issue was the logo size. He would like an approval of those issues to take to headquarters to work out the logo issue there. Ms. Boring said a picture is needed to approve anything. The silver pole was totally atypical. Mr. Dutfield said it was recommended at the last meeting that the Commission consider it a monument base. He asked for a condition to make it a monument base. Mr. Sprague said definitionally, since the sign is on a pole, it is not a monument sign; typically it is called a pylon sign. He suggested using the sign proposed previously, combining the panels, dropping the bottom panel down flush with the base. The percentage of the logo should be reduced. He also suggested incorporating the address with pin - mounted letters. Mr. Gerber encouraged a tabling to let the applicant work diligently and quickly with staff. Mr. Gibson said there had been a number of suggestions, and staff will use the most consistent ones in working with BMW on a solution. Mr. Saneholtz suggested that horizontal and vertical versions be brought back for review. Don Hunter of Duke Realty said his company developed this building, and he understood there was a concern about size of the logos. He suggested using a vertical sign, and shrinking the larger sign below the maximum size. The size of the logos would then be reduced without changing the panel relationship as a compromise. The company's branding of its signs should be maintained. The two issues are finding a sign that meets the City's and BMW's needs and making this process shorter. Staff could address the specifics with direction from the Commission, and this could be forwarded to Council. This has been frustrating for BMW. Ms. Boring said percentages are used to keep the ratio desired. She said Dublin has a capable staff and the rules are identified for all corporate citizens. She preferred a tabling at this time. Mr. Zimmerman noted that the Commission could vote now and forward it to Council. Mr. Dutfield said he had received good, but diverse input. However, he did not want to spend a lot of time and money designing a custom sign if the Commission will not approve it. Mr. Gerber said they were trying very hard to respect BMW's corporate logos. The goal is for a sign that identified their location and the building's primary purpose. Corporate logos can be used, but they must be in proportion to the identification of the signage required under Code. Mr. Sprague said the Commission vote might be negative or to table the application. With a negative recommendation, it would take an override vote by City Council for approval. Mr. Dutfield requested tabling both applications. Mr. Gibson will work with the applicant. Mr. Gerber said this application should be ready to be acted upon when it is next scheduled. Mr. Gerber made a motion to table this rezoning application and revised development plan. Mr. Zimmerman seconded the motion, and the vote was as follows: Mr. Saneholtz, yes; Mr. Sprague, yes; Ms. Boring, yes; Mr. Ritchie, yes; Mr. Zimmerman, yes; and Mr. Gerber, yes.

These applications allow a new sign package for the existing BMW Financial Services building. The rezoning application is a text modification to create a new subarea, Subarea A5 in the Tuttle Crossing PCD. The development standards will remain the same except for signage and a housekeeping section on density. This site is the Tuttle Crossing and Helmbright/Pagura PCDs. He gave a PowerPoint presentation. Mr. Gibson said the site is near the I- 270/Tuttle Crossing Corridor. The site is linear with frontage on Rings Road, Blazer Parkway, and Parkcenter Circle. The Commission previously approved one sign for the site, a 12 -foot tall, 46 square foot monument sign on Parkcenter Circle. The existing building is 122,000 square feet. Two signs are now proposed, one on Parkcenter Circle and the other at the north portion of Blazer Parkway. The signs require a zoning text revision. The signs will have four colors, white, black, blue, and chrome, rather than three. The percentage of permissible logo area is being increased from 20 percent to 51 percent. The larger sign is 12 feet tall and 34 square feet in area and the second sign is eight feet tall and 14 square feet in area. The existing sign also has four colors, including the chrome lettering and detail. Mr. Gibson said staff recommends approval of the rezoning application with four conditions: 1) That a sign permit be issued prior to installation; 2) That appropriate landscape plans be submitted for the bases of both signs; 3) That the site be brought into compliance with any outstanding landscaping violations by May 30, 2003; and 4) That the text and/or plans be amended to include any modifications requested by the Commission, prior to scheduling the public hearing at City Council.

Frank Ciarochi said the staff, especially in Economic Development, has a great relationship with BMW. This is a quality- conscious, highly successful Dublin corporation, and the sign is needed for the expanded product line, including the Mini Rover. He said by painting the outside edges of the existing chrome letters black, the four -color problem could be resolved. The logo for the Mini is clearly four colors, and that is why this rezoning was filed. This will follow the rezoning process suggested at the joint meeting of the Commission and Council. Mr. Sprague thanked Mr. Ciarochi for the background information. He summarized this information for the applicants upon their arrival. Lindsay Duffield, BMW Financial Services, said the corporate identification and signage was a worldwide change. He said they now have three brands, but only two (BMW and Mini_ are represented here. He said they will take over the Rolls Royce brand in January, but it will not change their sign request. Formerly, they were BMW, and now they are the BMW group. Mr. Saneholtz recalled the Bob Sumeral signage cause involved a proposal to establish a new Perimeter Center subarea just for the tire store. Mr. Gibson agreed. Mr. Saneholtz asked what was different here. That property owner was told he should have understood the sign restrictions in that subarea. The Commission did not feel it was justified to create a new subarea per tenant. Mr. Sprague said in this case there are two PCDs being reconfigured for a more logical configuration with a unified function. In the Sumeral Tire store case, there were automotive -type activities in the same PCD. Mr. Gibson said the coordination is a by- product, but the main issue is signage. He said the two sites have different scales. The BMW site has almost 2,000 feet of road frontage on three different public roads. The Sumeral Tire store was part of a shopping center. Mr. Saneholtz asked if this signage was also used at the car dealerships. Mr. Duffield said a similar version is used at dealerships. Mr. Saneholtz said in the text Subarea A4 said no products — company name and logo only. He asked for a company business card from Mr. Duffield to see what was BMW Financial Services' actual logo. He said it said "BMW Group." Mr. Saneholtz said their website showed BMW as their logo with no mention of Mini or Rolls Royce. Future acquisitions are unknown. He said displaying products put this in a gray zone. Mr. Duffield said they were all part of the group. He said BMW's logo was the brand name, not the product. He said they currently have the Mini Cooper, Mini Cooper S, Three, Five, and Seven series, X -5 and Z -4, and will have more products. The company and specific product series' brand names are used. It includes lifestyles, service, and full customer experience. Mr. Duffield agreed it was logo for the brand and said BMW Group was a wholly owned subsidiary of BMW Group Financial Services. Mr. Saneholtz said that BMW automobile 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan ParkcentercirciJ 66Z /PDP Rezoning /F�gljgipsWft&ftglent Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — December 5, 2002 Page 14 manufacturing is another wholly owned subsidiary of BMW Group. He said they make BMW cars and Minis, and then there is a third subsidiary of BMW Group. Mr. Saneholtz said this displays product names on a sign, but the use is financing, more like a bank. He said many types of businesses have many products. He said his interpretation of the Subarea A4 text was that a bunch of noise was not wanted on signage. Only company name and a small logo can be on a sign to be consistent throughout the area. He said the consistency could not be kept by permitted a sign with 51 percent logo, and possibly more later. Mr. Saneholtz asked for a definition of a monument sign. Mr. Gibson said most of the signs within the Tuttle Crossing PCD are of a monument style, generally horizontal and rectangular, with a brick or stone base. Mr. Ritchie said these signs almost appeared to be car dealership signs. There was some mention of the Wendy's corporate signage that meets Code. Mr. Saneholtz said he wondered how this internally illuminated, bright sign would fit into this office aspect of the site. It might be more appropriate in a retail area. Mr. Sprague asked if there was a BMW Group logo. Mr. Duffield said no, this is the financial services division. Elsewhere, there will have the BMW logo, the Mini logo, and BMW of North America. At the Munich headquarters there will be the Mini and BMW logos and BMW Group. The BMW Manufacturing has the BMW and Mini logos. Mike Stevens said Nationwide Insurance has a financial services group in the Parkwood building and a call center in Atrium I to deal with insurance claims. It used the corporate identity, the Nationwide "box" on their signage. He said Wendy's corporate headquarters uses a copper sign with a picture of Wendy. He said Wendy's does not show their hamburgers and BMW is not really showing the vehicles, they are showing their brand. Mr. Saneholtz was concerned about is the potential of BMW, Mini, Rolls Royce, and others being used. The existing sign has one logo with BMW Financial Group on it, and he did not understand the need to add logos (brand names) to the sign. They do not identify the building any better than "BMW" or "BMW Financial Services." He agreed a sign was needed on Blazer Parkway due to the facility size. He said the proposed sign was not appropriate for the area. Mr. Stevens said the Mini is an important aspect of the BMW business. He said it was very important to their culture and corporate identity. Mr. Saneholtz said there was a tremendous amount of activity on the proposed signs that is not wanted. He said 51 percent in picture format (logo) is not desired throughout the PCD. The intent is to limit logos to a certain size within every sign. He did not see this one parcel as unique to that ruling. Mr. Duffield explained that they do business as BMW Financial Services for BMW customers and dealers. They do business as Mini Financial Services for Mini customers and dealers. It is 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary Developmen4 I�p6Z /PDP Parkcenter ircl 99 Rezoning /%jib P &MRwnt Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — December 5, 2002 Page 15 very important for Mini customers to see Mini Financial Services, and it is the same with BMW customers. BMW dealers are separate franchises from Mini dealers, with separate showrooms. Mr. Saneholtz compared these proposed signs with those for the MAG dealership, but noted this site is in a corporate office park. Potentially, there could be ten logos depending on the financing services being offered in the future. Mr. Gibson said a rectangle was snapped around the outside dimensions of the combined logo area to determine the secondary image size. It would go from the top of the BMW roundel to the bottom of the Mini logo. There was some additional discussion of the computation. Mr. Saneholtz asked if Dublin has signs with multiple logos. He said in Worthington, Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield used several non - illuminated logos discretely at the bottom of the sign. Mr. Gibson gave other examples. Mr. Saneholtz said Cardinal Health owned several companies and their corporate sign has only the logo of the parent company. This BMW request is not for a parent company headquarters, but one of the divisions. He said Ashland Chemical is a division of Ashland Oil and they owned several other companies, and their Dublin offices did not use all their logos. Mr. Stevens said the sign says: Ashland Incorporated - Distribution and Specialty Groups," so it is identified on their sign. Their divisions are not identified with separate logos because they do not have a brand. He said the staff report said BMW signage is in line with the look and feel of the building and gives a positive recommendation. Mr. Saneholtz said the total BMW logos, whatever the number, should meet the Code size criteria. The building is in a neighborhood of other corporate tenants. Mr. Sprague said the Commission was cognizant of the precedent, but there are distinguishing features. If this separate subarea were approved, he asked what legal precedent would be set. Mr. Banchefsky said signs are a significant issue in Dublin, and these requests are handled by rezoning applications. The Commission is to make a recommendation to City Council to rezone this property, creating this subarea, and to allow this sign package. It is possible to rezone land just to provide a new sign, such as this. He could not speak for Council. The process will avoid a proliferation of sign requests, by treating them as rezoning cases. This is also a major corporate headquarters which is a distinguishing factor of which Council is cognizant. Mr. Saneholtz asked what is unique about this building to justify the signage. He noted text Provision 6 states that if the site is ever redeveloped or this occupant leaves, it has to go back to the old plan and rules, not the BMW sign rules. This should not be building specific. Mr. Gibson said the staff believes the building and sign styles fit together. Most of the buildings in Tuttle Crossing are brick, and the signs are monument signs with brick bases. The BMW building and materials work well together. With regard to the proposed text provision, it was added to reassure the Commission of its right to re- examine any future signage requests. Mr. Saneholtz asked if the building is reused as a multi -tenant facility, could new tenants also use four colors. Mr. Gibson said no. Mr. Saneholtz said that did not seem fair. 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary DevelopmegZ /PDP P IkCenter Ircl Rezoning/Pp, c Nff j Raw nt Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — December 5, 2002 Page 16 Mr. Zimmerman noted that text Provision 6 has no exception which would inform the next owner. He notices MAGBMW on Post Rod has a wood sign for BMW and Mini and asked about its color palette. Mr. Gibson said that site is now zoned SO, Suburban Office, and it can have only three colors. It may be a temporary identification sign. Mr. Zimmerman thought if three colors work at the MAG site, they could work for BMW Financial Services. Mr. Saneholtz said this applicant deserves a sign on Paul Blazer Parkway in addition to the existing sign. He believes the business name should be the predominant message, not the logos. This proposal is an inappropriate design for this corporate park. All logos should meet the Dublin regulations for secondary sign image. Mr. Sprague asked if there were any interest in potentially reorienting the sign to put the text at the top using 20 percent logos. Mr. Duffield said he did not know. They have always tried to work very closely with the City. He asked if there were other versions of the sign. Bob Kodger said there were no other versions. He said there were different sized versions of the three component panels. He said they were stock signs made by a national vendor for all their dealerships, regional offices, etc. Any change would have to be custom made. Mr. Saneholtz said this seems to be corporate policy versus Dublin's Zoning Code. Mr. Duffield said it is important that the division is seen consistently beneath the two key brands, BMW and Mini. He said that was the message they are sending to the public and their customers. Mr. Sprague said he understood the applicant's concern and how important this is to the company. The Commission in the past has heard an argument that "corporate really demands that it be this particular way," particularly on signage. He said in a number of cases, but not always, corporations have complied with the Sign Code. Mr. Banchefsky said he had seen cases where there have been corporations presenting multi- colored signs, etc., and the Commission or Council has not looked favorably on them. The applicants have then modified the signs. He said there is also a federal statue which states if you have a trademark/service mark, you have to use it or lose it. He said it may be necessary to review that case for the next meeting. Mr. Saneholtz said the Commission was not prohibiting logos and/or product names. The primary image is the name of the business, and the secondary image is limited to 20 percent. The number of colors is limited. Mr. Gibson said there were always ways to adjust the locations of secondary images, etc. It was just a question of was that acceptable to the corporation and the Commission. Mr. Gerber said the whole purpose is to create a new subarea to allow two signs. Mr. Gibson said no, the two street frontages permit two signs now. The Commission will still have to review it as a development plan. The sign package as proposed with four colors and a larger secondary image does not conform to the requirements, so the rezoning is needed. Mr. Sprague asked why this was a joint effort of the Planning and Development staff. He asked what was the alternative if the applicant had not chosen the rezoning process. 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary Development Parkcenter Circli ;* Z /PDP Rezoning/%9q!3i0Wft&JRgpbWnt Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — December 5, 2002 Page 17 Mr. Ciarochi said initially, this was submitted as a revised development plan, and the Planning staff advised Mike Stevens it could not be processed because it is not consistent with the existing text. The joint meeting of Council and the Commission included discussion that this type of situation should go through a rezoning process. Mr. Sprague said he sensed that there is significant discomfort with the application. He asked if there was any interest on the part of the applicant to tabling this. He asked if there is any interest in reconfiguring it to bring it closer into compliance. Mr. Duffield said they will have to redo signs which will be very expensive, and they need to know what is approvable. Mr. Sprague said the Commission would be interested in knowing the relative costs and benefits of pursuing an amended sign package. Mr. Gerber agreed. Mr. Gerber said at the joint meeting, they talked about this procedure for signs in planned districts. He said this is a good check and balance. There may be times when it may make sense and others when it does not. With respect to the sign package proposed, he asked if approving it would create an onslaught of such requests. Mr. Banchefsky did not believe it would cause an onslaught because they are doing this through the zoning process. There is more potential for problems in purely administrative functions. If the Commission recommends approval of the subarea rezoning tonight, it is still Council's ultimate decision. Council has the final word in this case on both the rezoning and an appeal of a denial of the development plan. Mr. Gerber said he felt the same way. He said there is a lot of "check and balance" in the system. This signage is not neon, flashing, bright, or gaudy, and he could support it. He thought the community needed to continue to have an open mind. Mr. Saneholtz disagreed. These are high intensity, internally lit, white, bright signs that are not appropriate for the office park. He said if this rezoning were approved, others just like it would be requested. If this rezoning is approved, all the future ones must be approved as wall. Mr. Zimmerman said by doing this, they will still have four colors. He said the American Cancer Society is also asking for a four -color palette, versus the three colors per Code. Mr. Gerber noted some corporations have five or more colors in their logos. The Sign Code states only three colors can be used, and the sign is for identification purposes only. Mr. Zimmerman said changing the Code is not a function of the Commission. Mr. Gibson said the sign permit for the existing sign was issued indicating white, blue and black as the permitted colors, and it was not installed according to the permit. Mr. Ritchie thought the Code was very clear on the purpose of signs — identification. This proposal crosses the line between identifying a building and advertising products. He could not support that part of the application. If corporations are desired in Dublin, we have to allow for 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary Developmen� Par �t�p6Z /PDP Parkcenter Circl M' g Rezoning /%JigiO.k6&Rjpt9FWnt Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — December 5, 2002 Page 18 corporate logos by changing the Sign Code. The other issues are design issues. The building needs to be identified as BMW Financial Group, and the logos can be secondary to that. Mr. Sprague summarized the issues. Mr. Duffield was not sure he had sufficient direction. Mr. Sprague said the color issue should be addressed. He said an externally illuminated sign would be consistent with the area and subarea. The area covered by the logos should be reduced. He suggested they invert the order of the sign components. [Mr. Messineo arrived at this point, following the conclusion of the Appearance Code Meeting.] Mr. Sprague recapped the discussion on this case for his benefit. Mr. Saneholtz said having the name on the bottom was more visible from a four -foot car height. Mr. Messineo asked about combining the BMW emblem on the same sign as BMW Group Financial Services. Mr. Duffield responded the existing sign, BMW Financial Services, appears as if they provide financing for BMW customers and dealers. He said they actually provide financial services for customers and independent dealers of the two key brands, BMW and Mini. Mr. Sprague said if the applicant was amenable, the Commission could table the rezoning and revised development plan applications. He advised the applicant to work with his counterparts to devise an alternative design which they believe is acceptable. They can present this and any other data or arguments at a later meeting. Mr. Banchefsky said if the applicant would opt not to table, they could vote tonight. This appears to be heading toward making a negative recommendation to Council. Council can over- ride it by approving the rezoning by a super - majority vote. A tied Commission vote would forward the application with no recommendation, requiring a simple majority for passage. Mr. Gibson offered staff's services to work with the applicant on a new design. Mr. Duffield said the corporate office would not accept less than four colors for their logo. This German company has invested $25 billion in this brand. He said if that is an issue that will result in this being rejected, then it might as well be done now and move ahead. Mr. Sprague asked for a straw vote on four colors being used on the sign. Mr. Saneholtz asked if this gets disapproved and there is no new subarea, what happens to the existing four -color sign. Mr. Gibson said technically, that would be a Code Enforcement issue because it does not match the existing permit. Mr. Messineo, Mr. Gerber, and Mr. Ritchie said they could support the four corporate colors. Mr. Zimmerman did not want to differ from the Code. Mr. Ritchie said if the four -color sign was approved, there should be an issue to change the Code. If approved, Council should consider amending the Sign Code to accommodate corporate logos. Mr. Saneholtz expressed concern over a fairness issue, that larger corporations might be getting more relaxed rules than smaller ones. The number of colors should apply equally to everyone. 13.056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary Developmenj Q&6Z /PDP Rezoning/ Agp6wnt Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — December 5, 2002 Page 19 Creating a specific subarea is inappropriate, and it may result in a separate subarea being crated for each building. He did not have a problem with the logo; other than it did not meet the Code. Mr. Sprague said he preferred that the sign meet the Sign Code. He understood there may be a need to accommodate a worldwide emblem. He might conservatively accept the four colors. Mr. Sprague cautioned the applicant that with a different mix of members being present at a future meeting, that there was no guarantee of a future outcome on the color issue. Mr. Duffield requested tabling of the applications. Mr. Sprague made the motion to table this rezoning application, and Mr. Ritchie seconded. The vote was as follows: Mr. Messineo, yes; Mr. Saneholtz, no; Mr. Zimmerman, no; Mr. Gerber, yes; Mr. Ritchie, yes; and Mr. Sprague, yes. (Tabled 4 -2.) Mr. Sprague made the motion to table the revised development plan, and Mr. Ritchie seconded. The vote was as follows: Mr. Messineo, yes; Mr. Saneholtz, no; Mr. Zimmerman, no; Mr. Gerber, yes; Mr. Ritchie, yes; and Mr. Sprague, yes. (Tabled 4 -2.)

Revised Development Plan 00 -015DP — Tuttle Crossing and Pagura/Helmbright PCDs — BMW Financial Services Expansion — 5515 Parkcenter Circle Mary Newcomb said this is a request for development plan approval for an expansion of the BMW Financial Services building under the PCD provisions. She showed several slides. She said the development standards for both the Tuttle Crossing and Pagura Helmbright PCD have to be met. The Pagura/Helmbright text permits a density of 17,000 square feet per acre, and the Tuttle Crossing text permits 18,000 square feet per acre. The expansion is well below the limitations. Ms. Newcomb said the materials will match the existing building. She said the expansion will be connected with an atrium, and the main entrance will be on the west side of the building. Ms. Newcomb said an overhead electric line, which runs through the middle of the expansion area, will be relocated with this building. A portion of the tree row will be maintained with the construction. A traffic update study was done regarding the east -west connector. The curbcut will remain the r same on Blazer Parkway, but the remainder of the east -west connector will be rerouted through the new parking lot. It will not be as straight a route, but it will maintain the connection to help with traffic in this area. She said a connection was suggested between the atrium parking lot and the north -south driveway. The applicant wants to defer this into the future, but staff recommends doing it as part of the construction. Ms. Newcomb said there will be a new service drive along Blazer Parkway. Staff recommends relocating the COTA bus stop and constructing a concrete pad. Staff is concerned about the visibility of this service drive and would like to reduce the width. It could be a right- in/right -out with additional landscaping. The applicant is proposing evergreen screening around this area with a screen wall. The applicant has agreed to all of the conditions, and the plan will meet the screening requirements along Blazer Parkway. Ms. Newcomb said they are preserving some of the tree row, but about 200 caliper inches of trees will be removed. She said the replacement plan needs tweaking. A portion of the pond is on the site and Cramer's Ditch runs along the site. Work is underway for the Rings Road widening. There will be landscaping in a portion of that, and the flood plain filling will require them to get the appropriate permits from the City. She said there is a dry detention basin on the site. Ms. Newcomb said the building has a cutting wall element. It has a circular a cut out element of ..,� tubular steel. The building has a metal louver screen wall for the mechanicals. She did not know of other examples using metal screening, but staff believes it is a better alternative than the current wood fencing. 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary Developmen 1 p�a�{kce�nter � t / Plan Rezoning / PSI eKiger arkcente PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — March 3, 2000 Page 10 Ms. Newcomb said the proposal generally conforms with the landscape requirements, except for street trees along Blazer Parkway and Parkcenter. The applicant has shown some interior sub- grade drainage within interior landscape islands, and staff is concerned that the parking lot trees might not survive over a period of time. The biggest detail is the service area. This plan meets one of Dublin's primary economic development goals, by retaining and expanding an existing business. It will compliment the area. She said staff recommends approval with the nine conditions: 1) That the proposed service access on Blazer Parkway be substantially de- emphasized to the extent possible using methods discussed in this staff report; 2) That the connection between the Rings Road Office building (Atrium 11), providing access to the east /west connector, be constructed with this building expansion, and that a copy of the recorded access agreement be submitted to the City Engineer's office prior to the issuance of a building permit; 3) That the landscape plan be revised to reflect the comments contained in the staff report and meet Code; 4) That tree preservation and replacement conform to the Tree Preservation Ordinance; 5) That evidence of a lot combination prior to issuance of a building permit; 6) That all mechanical units be screened per Code and that additional evergreen screening be provided around the service area, subject to staff approval; 7) That lighting conform to the Dublin Lighting Guidelines; 8) That stormwater management meet the approval of the City Engineer; and 9) That revised plans be submitted within two weeks and prior to scheduling the building permit pre- submittal meeting. A. Mr. Peplow asked about burying the overhead electric line. Ms. Newcomb said there have not been any details, but based on the cost it will probably not extend throughout the Tuttle Crossing development. Ms. Boring asked if the lines would be buried. Ms. Newcomb said yes. Mr. Peplow asked why staff feels the connection of the parking lots is needed now. Ms. Newcomb said staff feels the connection is needed to keep the connectivity throughout the development. Maintaining the east -west connection was always part of the traffic study. She said it utilizes the parking lot, but it maintains a connection. Mike. Stevens said this is part of the Tuttle Crossing Re- investment Area passed in the late 1980s and revised in the early 1990s. It is set to expire at the end of the year. The benefit will be based on the percentage of the project completed on December 31, 2000. Mr. Sprague noted that some trees will be removed. He thought the parking area would benefit from better screening. Ms Newcomb said 3.5 -foot screening is needed, and spot elevations will be checked. The requirement was increased from 3.0 feet to 3.5 feet. She said the revisions needed to the landscape plan are minor. Reference was made to Doyle Clear's letter. Mr. Lecklider thought it was unusual to approve any new curb cuts on Blazer Parkway. Ms. Newcomb said the service area of the building needs access. Mark Gialluca agreed to all of the above conditions. 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary Developmen 1 1� ppa kcenter ircle NM' 6Z /PDP Rezoning/ 64 T Plan Parkcenter ircle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — March 3, 2000 Page 11 Mr. Peplow appreciated the improvements to the cooling tower and other areas. Mr. Gialluca demonstrated the materials for the proposed building. The screen wall be the same pre -cast material as the building, and the louvers will have a grey finish. Gerry Bird, Bird -Houk Architects, said the screen wall will be integral to the building materials. There is a lot of equipment to screen, and a grey rolling gate will cover the service court. A combination of materials, mostly white pre -cast, will be used. Everything will be screened to full height. The building is very long. Mr. Peplow thought the curbcut looked very wide and hard to screen. Mr. Gialluca agreed and said the asphalt will be narrowed, and grass pavers will be used to keep a good appearance around the cut. Mr. Sprague liked the building very much. Mr. Gialluca said the traffic movement was discussed with Ms. Clarke and Mr. Kindra. The cross connector is a safety valve, but they would prefer to delete it. He said it is a legal concern, but its design will discourage using it as a raceway. Mr. Fishman asked if the original landscaping meets Code. Ms. Newcomb said the site lacks street trees, and this will be remedied. The parking will be extended to the south, and the mounding will need to be 3.5 feet high. Mr. Lecklider was troubled by the service drive from Blazer Parkway because of the view. Mr. .•. Gialluca said it is dictated by the functional needs. A 22 -foot driveway could be placed on this Iftow site parallel to Blazer Parkway, but it would also remove several larger trees. For several reasons, this seemed the best solution. The screen walls will conceal trucks. Mr. Bird reiterated this point and said it provided for better truck maneuvering. The rolling gate will enclose the courtyard. Mr. Harian asked how closing the gate will be enforced. Mr. Bird said it is powered with a time - delay, similar to a garage door opener. Mr. Lecklider said this Blazer Parkway cut is not preferred. Ms. Boring said she supported the application. The plan has extra landscaping and is exactly the type of employer the Dublin wants. She appreciates that the proposal is well under the maximum density. Mr. Harian and Mr. Fishman agreed. Mr. Lecklider said he appreciated the density. Mr. Fishman said he was very happy with this proposal, and he made a motion to approve this development plan because it is compatible with adjacent uses and proposed development within the Tuttle Crossing area; conforms to the Tuttle Crossing and Pagura/Helrnbright PCD plans; and furthers the economic development goals of the City with nine conditions: 1) That the proposed service access on Blazer Parkway be substantially de- emphasized to the extent possible using methods discussed in this staff report; ,,.%. 2) That the connection between the Rings Road Office building (Atrium II), providing access to N.r the east/west connector, be constructed with this building expansion, and that a copy of the recorded access agreement be submitted to the City Engineer's office prior to the issuance of a building permit; 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circl &Z /P D P Rezoning /PMirgipgA( Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — March 3, 2000 Page 12 3) That the landscape plan be revised to reflect the comments contained in the staff report and meet Code; 4) That tree preservation and replacement conform to the Tree Preservation Ordinance; 5) That evidence of a lot combination be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit; 6) That all mechanical units be screened per Code and that additional evergreen screening be provided around the service area, subject to staff approval; 7) That lighting conform to the Dublin Lighting Guidelines; 8) That stormwater management meet the approval of the City Engineer; and 9) That revised plans be submitted within two weeks and prior to scheduling the building permit pre- submittal meeting.

Revised Development Plan 97- 116RDP - Tuttle Crossing - BMW Financial Services - 5515 Parkcenter Circle Mary Newcomb presented this revised development plan for an interim parking lot of 56 spaces. The additional parking is to be located the southern part of the Helmbright property which is part of the "Chakeres to Helmbright" PCD. The 1.32 acres will be used for the temporary parking for BMW employees. The adjacent BMW building is a three -story 60,000 square foot office with parking for 263 vehicles. The proposal is to cut through the fencerow and to connect the existing BMW parking lot with a temporary parking lot. An internal drive from Parkcenter to Rings Road will provide traffic circulation for these office buildings and the Rings Road office building. The fencerow screens utility poles; this is a condition of the original rezoning. The tree row is to be fenced during construction, and the 22 -foot wide connection between the two lots should be adjusted onsite to preserve trees. The existing sidewalk should be extended along the new parking lot. BMW plans to expand within three years. Although temporary, the lot will be paved and lighted to meet Dublin Guidelines. The existing parking lot will lose five spaces. A curbcut on the east /west access will be closed and relocated with median changes. Ms. Newcomb said the landscaping must conform to Code. Screening is needed around the perimeter of the parking lot. The interior landscape islands mast be widened to have an inside dimension of seven feet. She said a parking lot is not permitted, under the PCD development text, as a primary use. Staff recommends legally combining it with the BMW site, rezoning it as a free - standing parking lot, or converting it back to open space by the year 2000. She said staff recommends approval with ten conditions: 1) That the site be legally combined with the office parcel it serves, be rezoned as a free- standing parking lot, or be converted back to open space by September 15, 2000; 2) That landscaping conform with Code and include street trees to be located between the future sidewalk and street, subject to staff approval; 3) That any dead, dying, or missing plant material be replaced by April 15, 1998; 4) That stormwater comply with the City's requirements; 5) That snow fencing locations be shown on all site plans, that it be installed prior to any site activities, including grading, and that it be maintained until the project is finished; 6) That the grading plan be revised to eliminate grading within the dripline of the fencerow, subject to staff approval; 7) That a sidewalk be constructed along Blazer Parkway and that measures be taken to preserve the existing trees, subject to staff approval; 8) That lighting conform with the Dublin Lighting Guidelines 9) That the existing curb cut to be replaced with grass and that the sidewalk and mounding along Blazer Parkway be connected, subject to staff approval; and 10) That a revised landscape plan and site dimension plan be submitted within two weeks. 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary Development ,P GZ /P D P Parkcenter Circli t�iD Rezoning /Pggljri9 @ftgp nt Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - September 4, 1997 Page 13 Ms. Newcomb said the temporary parking lot may be there for two to three years. Ms. Boring asked that Condition 5 include "...tree protection be installed by the applicant prior to site grading activities, subject to staff approval and field verification." Mr. Ferrara asked about Condition 4 regarding stormwater. Ms. Newcomb said the surface of the site was being changed from grass /field to a hard surface which will change the flow rates, etc. Stormwater calculations submitted are currently under review by staff. Mr. Sprague asked how April 15, 1998, was chosen for Condition 4. Ms. Newcomb said April or October are prime planting months. She said changes will be made on the north /south access, and it will be better to wait until April, so the trees will not be damaged. Mark Gialucca, Duke Construction, said BMW's growth is very positive. He said they will come back with the future development plan for the entire site, including this parking lot. That design has not begun, and specific timing is unknown. He said BMW wishes to expand parking temporarily to the north to preserve green space to the south. Mr. Gialucca agreed with the modified conditions. Mr. Sprague said Dublin was happy that BMW Financial Services was in Dublin. He hoped that the new facility will look as nice as this one. Mr. Ferrara suggested inserting the word "management" after "stormwater" in Condition 4. Mr. Ferrara made the motion to approve this application with ten conditions: 1) That the site be legally combined with the office parcel it serves, be rezoned as a free- standing parking lot, or be converted back to open space by September 15, 2000; 2) That landscaping conform with Code and include street trees to be located between the future sidewalk and street, subject to staff approval; 3) That any dead, dying, or missing plant material be replaced by April 15, 1998; 4) That stormwater management-comply with the City's requirements; 5) That snow fencing locations be shown on all site plans, that it be installed prior to any site activities, including grading, and that it be maintained until the project is finished, with field verification of staff; 6) That the grading plan be revised to eliminate grading within the dripline of the fencerow, subject to staff approval; 7) That a sidewalk be constructed along Blazer Parkway and that measures be taken to preserve the existing trees, subject to staff approval; 8) That lighting conform with the Dublin Lighting Guidelines Page 1 of 2 13- 056Z/PDP Rezoning /Preliminary Developmentgl86Z /PDP ppa kcenter ircle Rezoning /H66AI AV66 7ient Plan arkcenter ircle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - September 4, 1997 Page 14 9) That after the drive is relocated, the existing curbs, sidewalk, and mounding adjacent to the abandoned driveway will be extended to connect and the remaining vacated area will be seeded, subject to staff approval; and. 10) That a revised landscape plan and site dimension plan be submitted within two weeks.

Development Plan - Tuttle Crossing - 5515 Park Center Circle Mary Newcomb presented this development plan which was approved with several exceptions by the Commission on August 3, 1995, for a 63,000 square foot office building. The building elevation, landscaping, building materials and color palette, including the window glass are under consideration at this special meeting. She said changes include eliminating the glass, similar to that on Sterling Software, and adding glass to the east elevation. A combined landscape plan for the Atrium site and this site was submitted, the Atrium landscaping reflects an out of date plan. Ms. Newcomb showed a more recent landscape plan to the Commission. Ms. Newcomb said the site is approximately four acres located on the northwest corner of Blazer Parkway and Park Center Circle. The three -story building is to be precast concrete with glass. The applicant Is proposing to double the landscaped islands along the access drive. Mr. Ferrara asked if the additional trees shown up to the Atrium building are included. Ms. Newcomb said they were included on the Atrium plan submitted for a building permit. She said • the plan in the Commission packets did not show all the interior landscaping. Mr. Ferrara asked about water retention. Ms. Newcomb said no wet ponds were proposed. 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD le Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Special Meeting Minutes - August 17, 1995 Page 2 Mr. Ferrara asked if the City had any plans to include wet ponds on any area here. Staff was unaware of any. Mr. Zawaly said all of the Commissioners had received telephone calls from a citizen who raised the storm water retention question. There is a massive amount of parking lot and part of the storm water retention concern is the water run -off into Cramer Creek. Ms. Newcomb said the storm water calculations were approved by the City Engineer. The water is being retained within the parking lot, and a detention area is proposed along Blazer Parkway. Mr. Zawaly asked if the added green space had been adequately addressed. Ms. Newcomb said yes, the zero set back concern had been addressed adding wider islands and trees. The landscaping must comply with Code. Mr. Zawaly asked about the square footage of the building as it related to the parking lot landscaping. Ms. Newcomb said the development text permitted up to 18,000 square feet per acre, and this was 15,424 square feet per acre, well within the requirements. Mr. Rauh asked if the handicap parking spaces were appropriately located for access to the main entry. Mr. Newcomb said typically, staff likes to see them as close to the entrance as possible. Mr. Rauh said ADA stressed handicap parking as close to the main entrance as possible. Mark Marsh, preconstruction services manager for Duke Construction, Columbus office agreed to the following ten conditions: 1) That the landscaped islands on this site and the Atrium site be increased in width and planted with larger caliper shade trees, subject to staff approval; 2) That the landscape plan meet Code, subject to staff approval; 3) That a curb cut be added along Blazer Parkway to utilize the median break or that the existing left turn stacking lanes be replaced with a grassed median, subject to staff approval; 4) That all mechanical units be screened per Code; 5) That the Tuttle Crossing text be approved by Council with regard to the parking setback prior to approval of a lot split, should one be desired; 6) That lighting conform to the Dublin Lighting Guidelines; 7) That signage conform to Code; 8) That a tree preservation plan providing for protection of the northern treeline be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit, subject to staff approval; 9) That a copy of the recorded access agreement between this site and the Atrium at Tuttle Crossing be submitted to the City Engineer's office before the issuance of a building permit; and 10) That stormwater management meet the approval of the City Engineer. Mr. Marsh apologized for the computer mix -up on the landscape drawings. He said this building represented only a 63 percent lot coverage. 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD '5�'ts�rfccenterEircle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Special Meeting Minutes - August 17, 1995 Page 3 Peplow asked how far the sidewalk would be from the curb. Ms. Newcomb said the sidewalk is typically one foot in from the right -of -way with adequate room for trees to be planted between the sidewalk and the curb. Mr. Peplow liked the change made in the appearance of the rear of the building on Blazer Parkway with the panels removed. Mr. Marsh showed the Commission samples of the glass and precast concrete proposed. Mr. Zawaly asked if all the documents would be plotted correctly to identify everything entered into the record as being represented as part of this application. He wanted a document for the record that indicated everything. Ms. Newcomb said the applicant had tried to respond to conditions from the previous meeting, and conditions must be met before the issuance of a building permit. She said however, there was no record plan as such for this meeting. Ms. Clarke said as long as there were conditions of approval, the Commission never received a truly final plan. Mr. Zawaly said documents represented before the commission should include the sidewalk, etc. be shown on a plan. He asked that it be provided as part of the record. Mr. Marsh said a building permit would not be approved until the conditions were met. �- Mr. Zawaly asked if a wet pond would be possible. Mr. Marsh said Randy Bowman had said at the last meeting that a wet pond there could not meet Dublin design criteria. Mr. Fishman was disappointed there was no water feature. Mr. Marsh said the 50 x 300 foot long narrow area on the east face of the building along Blazer Parkway would be the primary detention area. Mr. Fishman asked if every tree on the inside of the landscape plan was 3.5 inches in caliper except for the rim trees. Mr. Marsh said yes. Ms. Clarke said the condition based on the August 3 approval had been written to exclude the perimeter of the parking lot, not the perimeter of the site. Mr. Fishman said this was wrong. After a discussion, Mr. Fishman said it was street trees that did not have to be 3.5 inches in caliper. Mr. Marsh expressed concern about larger trees immediately adjacent to the smaller trees provided under the Atrium approval. He said on the property line along the west side of the 5515 site the islands would be doubled in size, an additional tree would be added, and the caliper of all of those trees would be 3.5 inches in caliper. It was finally agreed that all trees on the 5515 site would be upgraded to 3.5 inches except the trees along Park Center Circle, on the south border, along Blazer Parkway, on the east border, or on the north border where they blend into the trees provided under contract for the Atrium building. Mr. Fishman asked what caliper they would be at the Atrium. Ms. Newcomb said they were 2.5 inches in caliper. She said the condition presently read that the street trees would be 3.5 inches in caliper. Mr. Fishman said that was his intention. 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD t cle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Special Meeting Minutes - August 17, 1995 Page 4 After more discussion, Mr. Marsh agreed to make all the trees 3.5 inches in caliper. Mr. Fishman again expressed disappointment that there was no water feature, not even a fountain. Mr. Marsh said even a fountain requires concrete enclosures. Mr. Rauh understood, but felt a water feature was needed. He said the building had been previously approved and the Commission was only to review exterior elevations now. Mr. Ferrara agreed. Mr. Marsh has requested from his company that on the next 113 acres, north of Rings Road, a water feature be provided, and two are planned to accommodate a combination of attractiveness and detention. Mr. Marsh guaranteed that there would be a wet centralized retention pond to accommodate the entire development. Mr. Ferrara asked if the reflective glass was exactly as used on the Sterling Software building. Mr. Marsh said yes and that the same type of precast concrete but in a different color. Mr. Ferrara asked if a lot of white had been eliminated on the east elevation. Mr. Marsh said yes. Mr. Marsh announced that the BMW North American financial headquarters would be the tenant of this building. The facilities from Hilliard and Upper Arlington would be combined here with ±300 employees. Mr. Rauh said this presentation was much better than at the last meeting. He asked that the handicap parking be relocated closer to the front entry of the building. Mr. Marsh agreed and proposed to relocate four spaces currently on the west elevation and shift them to the center position in front of the main entry to the building. Mr. Ferrara asked that the Engineering staff be advised about the promise that there will be two water features upon the development of the next Tuttle Crossing project. Mr. Zawaly congratulated Duke Realty Investments for bringing a fine project to Dublin. Ms. Clarke said the August 3 action needed to be rescinded to define the landscape condition better, and a handicap parking space relocation condition should be drafted. Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher made the motion to rescind the August 3, 1995 approval and reapprove this development plan with the following 13 conditions: 1) That the landscaped islands adjacent to the access drive (western portion of this site and eastern portion of the Atrium site) be increased in width and planted with 3.5 -inch caliper trees (two per island) and that trees on this entire site be upgraded to 3.5 -inch caliper; 2) That the landscape plan meet Code, subject to staff approval; 3) That a curb cut be added along Blazer Parkway to utilize the median break or that the existing left turn stacking lanes be replaced with a grassed median, subject to staff approval; 4) That all mechanical units be screened per Code; 13- 056Z /P D P _ Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD ar ce —nTer C7rcIe Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Special Meeting Minutes - August 17, 1995 Page 5 5) That the Tuttle Crossing text be approved by Council with regard to the parking setback prior to approval of a lot split, should one be desired; 6) That lighting conform to the Dublin Lighting Guidelines; 7) That signage conform to Code; 8) That a tree preservation plan providing for protection of the northern treeline be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit, subject to staff approval; 9) That a copy of the recorded access agreement between the Atrium at Tuttle Crossing site and this site be submitted to the City Engineer's office before the approval of the lot split; 10) That stormwater management meet the approval of the City Engineer; 11) That a five -foot wide concrete sidewalk be provided along the west side of Blazer Parkway on this site; 12) That up to 40 additional parking spaces be allowed subject to Staff approval; and 13) That four handicap parking spaces currently located southwest of the building entrance, be moved to be more directly in front of the building entrance.

Development Plan - Tuttle Crossing - 5515 Parkeenter Circle C,6uncil with Mr. Sutphe , Mary Newcomb presented this development plan for Subarea A of the Tuttle Crossing PCD, Planned Commerce District. A 63,000 square foot, three -story office building is proposed on 4.089 acres at the northwest corner of Park Center Circle and Blazer Parkway. The Atrium office building which was approved in June is immediately to the west, on the same parcel. The Prudential site is across Blazer Parkway, and to the north are a single- family home and a non- conforming landscape business, both zoned R- IA. Most of the area is zoned for an office park. A pond located on the site is being filled, and the existing fencerow has landmark trees running along the north property line. Ms. Newcomb said when the Prudential site was approved, a median break was also approved with left turn stacking from Blazer Parkway into this site. Only one access off of Park Center Circle is proposed, none from Blazer Parkway. The proposed building is modeled after the Sterling Software building, except for colors. If this lot is split, a sideyard setback of 25 feet is required by the text, along the Atrium site, which will not be possible on either side of the new property line. Staff is supportive of a zero setback if the width of the landscaped islands on both sides of this aisle are doubled and planted with two deciduous shade trees, 3 to 3.5 inches in caliper. The proposed plan has 263 parking spaces, and the requirement is 253 spaces. Future expansion of the parking is probable along Parkcenter Circle. Ms. Newcomb said the mounding needs to be shown on the grading plan. Abutting the north property line, a continuous six -foot mound with evergreens and a deciduous tree every 40 feet is needed. Because of the tree row, staff recommends additional evergreen planting but no mounding in that area. Some species should be replaced with hardier varieties of plants, and crabapples in the parking lot should be replaced with larger and higher canopy trees. A five -foot sidewalk will be constructed on the north side of Park Center Circle. The 40 -foot building is to be constructed of white pre -cast concrete with green glass windows. The rooftop 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 3, 1995 Page 9 mechanicais have a parapet screen. A single tenant with 250 -300 employees is to occupy the building. Ms. Newcomb said the Subarea A text permits a building to land ratio of up to 18,000 square feet per acre; 13,424 square feet and lot coverage of 65 percent are proposed. Staff is recommending approval of this development plan with the following ten conditions: 1) That the landscaped islands on this site and the Atrium site be increased in width and planted with larger caliper shade trees, subject to staff approval; 2) That the landscape plan meet code, subject to staff approval; 3) That a curb cut be added along Blazer Parkway to utilize the median break or that the existing left turn stacking lanes be replaced with a grassed median, subject to staff approval; 4) That all mechanical units be screened per code; 5) That the Tuttle Crossing text be approved by Council with regard to the parking setback prior to approval of a lot split, should one be desired; 6) That lighting conform to the Dublin Lighting Guidelines; 7) That signage conform to code; 8) That a tree preservation plan providing for protection of the northern treeline be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit, subject to staff approval; 9) That a copy of the recorded access agreement between this site and the Atrium at Tuttle Crossing be submitted to the City Engineer's office before the issuance of a building permit; and 10) That stormwater management meet the approval of the City Engineer. Mr. Peplow asked why there is no access from Blazer Parkway. Ms. Newcomb said the applicant was concerned that the Atrium traffic will cut through this office site. Mr. Peplow asked if that was the left -turn stacking lane addressed in the conditions. Ms. Newcomb said yes, the Prudential site approval included locating the median break, which was to serve both sides of the street. It has a left turn stacking lane constructed by Prudential for this site also. If there is not access utilizing it, that the north bound stacking lane should be removed and reconstructed as a grass median. Mr. Sutphen said a bikepath should be included as a condition of approval along Blazer Parkway. There is a beautiful bikepath to which it could connect. Ms. Newcomb said the Tuttle Crossing pedestrian plan showed specific locations for sidewalks and bikepaths, but nothing on the west side of Blazer Parkway. Mr. Sutphen said Dublin had landscaped and installed a bikepath along Blazer Parkway near Ashland Chemical. He realized there was property between the sites, but a bikepath is needed here, especially with two restaurants and a mall in the area. Ms. Newcomb said a bikepath was on the east side of Blazer Parkway, across from this site. Mr. Sutphen said curbs, gutters, and sidewalks should be required. 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 3, 1995 Page 10 Mr. Fishman asked if other office buildings used green glass in the area. Ms. Newcomb did not know of any, but Xerox has a green roof. Mr. Fishman said the green glass would not blend well with the other buildings. Mr. Ferrara asked if the tenant changed, could the curb cut be reopened. Ms. Newcomb said it would be a future possibility. Mark Marsh, the applicant, presented samples of the green glass and white pre-cast concrete for review. Mr. Sutphen said the glass was good looking on buildings he had seen. Mr. Marsh agreed to all the conditions as stated above. Mr. Rauh asked if Mr. Marsh had slides of other buildings with green glass windows and white pre-cast concrete. Mr. Rauh said it might be very attractive, but examples would assist the Commission. Mr. Marsh had no examples. He said a Dayton building has level three reflectivity, and the glass proposed for this building had a level one (less) reflectivity. Mr. Ferrara asked if the building entrance was on the west side of the parking lot. Mr. Marsh said yes. Mr. Ferrara asked if there was a rendering of the Blazer Parkway elevation. Mr. Marsh said no; it was similar but with less glass than the elevation submitted. Mr. Ferrara asked about the view of this building from I -270 past the Atrium. He would like to see a perspective of the two together. Mr. Marsh said from the interstate, it would be about the same grade across, so only glimpses would be seen. It would be seen from the elevated Rings Road overpass. Mr. Ferrara asked about the massive plantings at the northern property line if the parking is enlarged. Mr. Marsh said this tenant is a "people intense" employer and parking for 300 was desired. The plan has been designed to add another row of parking spaces around the plantings near the corner. The landscape has been designed to be preserved with the lot expansion. Mr. Marsh said his client might want the curb cut, but if not, they agreed to return the median to its original condition. Mr. Rauh asked what the lot coverage percentage would be if the parking lot were increased. Ms. Newcomb did not know, but said it would have to conform to the development text. Mr. Marsh asked if it could be approved subject to verification of lot coverage to conformance with the text. Mr. Banchefsky said yes. Mr. Sutphen asked about the sidewalk along Blazer Parkway. Mr. Marsh agreed to the sidewalk. Mr. Fishman asked if more trees could be added to the parking lot to reduce the mass of vehicles without sacrificing parking spaces by adding diamond - shaped planting areas. Mr. Marsh said they agreed to double the number trees shown and increase their caliper to 3 -3.5 inches. Staff felt it necessary to place more greenspace along the property lines between this and the Atrium building since the setbacks were zero. Ms. Newcomb said if the island size were reduced, the trees would not survive. She said the plan still needed 200 square feet of 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 3, 1995 Page 11 interior landscaping. Mr. Marsh suggested that the two islands which are not aligned with the others be left as single islands or be relocated within the parking lot. Ms. Newcomb said that might be possible. Mr. Ferrara wanted to see the landscape plans for both buildings, side by side. Mr. Marsh agreed to increase the caliper of all the trees throughout the interior islands to a minimum 3 1/2 inch caliper. Ms. Clarke asked for trees every third or fourth parking space down the center island running perpendicular to the building. Mr. Marsh agreed. Mr. Peplow asked if the footprint and materials of this building were the same as for Sterling Software. Mr. Marsh said Sterling was 10-15 feet shorter and has grey pre -cast concrete with silver glass. Mr. Marsh said the windows were mostly grey, silver, and black on that side of the interstate. He said the Fanning -Howey building on Frantz Road and Cincinnati Bell had green glass windows. It was agreed there would be no time limitation on the parking lot expansion. Mr. Marsh said the trees would be planted immediately. Mr. Marsh said if there was no lot split, the access easement would not be recorded. As long as there was one ownership, it was not required. Ms. Clarke agreed. It was agreed to tie this to the lot split rather the issuance of a building permit. Ms. Newcomb agreed. Ms. Clarke said the County Recorder's office issued lot splits, not the City. Mike Baker, Brighton Park resident, said the traffic at the entrance of his subdivision was terrible. This office development will increase the traffic in his area by 300 more cars and the new mall will increase it even more. The traffic on Tuttle Crossing is already bad. He was surprised that the water feature on this site was being eliminated. Ms. Clarke said the pond on the site was a borrow pit, and was not part of the stormwater management program. Mr. Baker said the bikepath near this project went nowhere. He said the Prudential building was redesigned because of the Commission's concern. He said if this project were in Perimeter Center, the parking lot configuration would not be approved. Mr. Sutphen said the traffic problems would be resolved soon with the CEP projects proposed to route the traffic to new roadways. Mr. Baker asked if the parking requirement was one space per 250 square feet. Ms. Clarke said yes. Mr. Baker asked what the maximum parking was. Ms. Clarke said the Commission would determine this, but if a parking garage were built, 400 -plus spaces might be approved. Mr. Ferrara said this was an office building and not comparable to Perimeter Center. On the weekends, the office traffic would not be present. Mr. Fishman agreed with the traffic issue but stated the site was already zoned 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 3, 1995 Page 12 Mr. Peplow said traffic was out of control and would like to see Tuttle Road extended to Avery Road and the Woerner- Temple extension built. He agreed that a sidewalk was needed but that this project fit well into the entire development. Mr. Rauh said he felt the building would be attractive, but not enough evidence was provided in the way of photographs. He was uneasy about approving the building at this time. Mr. Sutphen liked the colors proposed for the building materials. He sympathized with Mr. Baker about the traffic problems, but said they would improve in the future. Mr. Fishman appreciated Mr. Baker's frustration regarding the elimination of the water, but was told by staff that it was not required. He said he was assured by staff that the two bridges and connector road would be completed with the Cardinal project in the next five years. He was worried about the greenspace visible from I -270. He would prefer water features and a smaller building, but it was not feasible. Mr. Marsh said he would provide a photo study of green glass buildings at another meeting if the building could be approved at this meeting. Mr. Marsh agreed to all the conditions as discussed. Mr. Ferrara said landscaping helped to make colored glass work. He was concerned about the reflection of the surrounding area in the glass. Mr. Marsh said his delivery schedule for this tenant did not allow any delays. Mr. Rauh said it would be thirty days until the next scheduled meeting. Mr. Marsh asked if the building elevations could be approved and then the colored glass study and slides be presented to the Commission later. Mr. Rauh asked if the building could be approved as a footprint only. He asked if a foundation permit could be obtained and then the materials approved later. Mr. Banchefsky said administratively, yes, however the applicant was at some risk. Mr. Marsh said he wanted to do it that way. Mr. Ferrara asked if only the exterior of the building was needed. Mr. Rauh said all sides of the structure need to be better rendered. Mr. Fishman said there was a risk associated with starting the building prior to final approval Mr. Marsh said he has a problem with the lead time for delivery on the structural steel. He asked if there would be an interim meeting, before 30 days. Several Commissioners asked about notice requirements. Ms. Clarke stated that the staff had presented a schedule including two monthly meeting dates for all of 1996. These second meeting dates are used to cover a large monthly case load, etc. The second August date is the 17th. The Commission may set special meetings, with public notice, whenever required. She said a quorum has been established for the 17th, because several large cases that were anticipated for hearing in August have been postponed until September. 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 3, 1995 Page 13 Mr. Marsh said he would be prepared for the 17th. Mr. Rauh said in order to be developer friendly, a half -hour meeting could be held on August 17 to consider the elevations. He cautioned Mr. Marsh that the meeting would be longer is the elevations were not high quality. Mr. Fishman was sorry that not enough information had been provided to finalize the approval. He said he thought it needed many more trees, and the problem was the vast blacktop area. Mr. Ferrara said the reflective nature of the glass and its color concern him. Mr. Ferrara said in some places the reflection was striking with proper landscaping. Mr. Sutphen said it looked similar to the Xerox building and he liked it. Several members agreed that they could not make the decision tonight. Mr. Rauh asked for a motion to continue the case until the 17th. Mr. Sutphen made a motion to approve this development plan with the following thirteen conditions: 1) That the landscaped islands adjacent to the access drive (western portion of this site and eastern portion of the Atrium site) be increased in width and planted with 3.5 -inch caliper trees (two per island); and that trees on this site be planted on this site be upgraded to 3.5 -inch caliper, excepting the parking lot perimeter trees, subject to staff approval; 2) That the landscape plan meet Code, subject to staff approval; 3) That a curb cut be added along Blazer Parkway to utilize the median break or that the existing left turn stacking lanes be replaced with a grassed median, subject to staff approval; 4) That all mechanical units be screened per Code; 5) That the Tuttle Crossing text be approved by Council with regard to the parking setback prior to approval of a lot split, should one be desired; 6) That lighting conform to the Dublin Lighting Guidelines; 7) That signage conform to Code; 8) That a tree preservation plan providing for protection of the northern treeline be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit, subject to staff approval; 9) That a copy of the recorded access agreement between the Atrium at Tuttle Crossing site and this site be submitted to the City Engineer's office before the approval of the lot split; 10) That stormwater management meet the approval of the City Engineer; 11) That a five -foot wide concrete sidewalk be provided along the west side of Blazer Parkway on this site; 12) That up to 40 additional parking spaces be allowed subject to Staff approval; and 13) That the application be reheard by the Commission at a special meeting on August 17 for consideration of the building elevations, materials, glass color, and landscaping. Mr. Marsh said he thought the issue was the color of glass to be used. Mr. Fishman clarified that the issue is what the building looks like as a whole on all four sides, the arrangement of the 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 3, 1995 Page 14 glass, etc. If there are many trees reflected in the glass, it may be quite attractive, as the one in Cincinnati. Mr. Ferrara asked if this was an issue involving the number of stories, and square footage of the footprint. Mr. Marsh said he would have the building rendered in true colors, all four sides, with the landscaping. He will also present pictures of other buildings as examples that used green glass. Mr. Fishman said he thought a water feature would be appropriate and asked if the dry storm water facility could be redesigned as a wet pond. Randy Bowman responded that it would be very difficult to design one that meets all MORPC standards within the given area, and alternate designs were possible, but not preferred. Mr. Banchefsky said it was important to be clear exactly what is being approved at this time, if a foundation permit is being authorized without full approval. Mr. Sutphen responded that the approval included the foundation, footprint, utilities, but not exterior elevations and materials. He reiterated that the Commission needed elevations of all sides of the building, including landscaping, for consideration on August 17. Mr. Ferrara seconded the motion. Ms. Clarke asked for clarification on condition 1. It was agreed that the only landscaped islands on the Atrium site affected are located adjacent to the east driveway. Ms. Clarke also asked for clarification on condition 12. Mr. Sutphen said that this site plan can have up to 40 more parking spaces provided the parking lot meets setback, landscaping and other requirements, subject to staff approval. Mr. Banchefsky asked for a clarification on condition 13. He wanted it to be clear that the Commission's approval of utilities did not override the City Engineer as to storm water facility design, etc. Mr. Sutphen agreed it did not. Mr. Ferrara seconded the motion and the vote was as follows: Mr. Fishman, yes; Mr. Peplow, yes; Mr. Rauh, yes; Mr. Ferrara, yes; and Mr. Sutphen, yes. (Approved in part, 5 -0.)

Mr. Harrison Smith and Mr. Jim Hauk registered as proponents. There were no registered opponents. Mr. Bowman had the following comments: The subject site is 115.7 acres. The site is located on the northeast corner of I -270 and Tuttle Roads. The property abuts the western office portion of the Llewellyn Farms development and the Borror Corporation office property. To the north are residents in Washington Township; on the west side of the site is I -270 and a 20 acre parcel which was annexed to Columbus. On the south side of Tuttle Road is additional land in Columbus and it is expected to be used for commercial and apartment uses. The property was recently reclassified to the R -Rural District; the applicant is requesting zoning into the Planned Commerce District. Showed slides of the site. The site in the Dublin portion is major mall use development; it is expected to include approval and construction of an interchange at Tuttle Road which will be developed at the developer's expense. In conjunction, the City of Columbus will be doing improvements to Tuttle Road. Dublin intends to work with property owners to provide a northward connection from the subject site onto Rings Road. It is now a very good zoning package that should result in a first - class office park, complete with coordinated landscaping. The deed restrictions will cover the building facade, signage, materials and elevation. The plan starts with less intensive offices against the properties on Frantz Road and becomes progressively more intense, resulting in large, corporate signature -type office buildings along I -270. Staff recommended approval. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval, subject to one condition - that information regarding phasing, pedestrian bike links, utilities and applicable deed restrictions be required as part of the composite and will be provided to the staff prior to sub- mission of the actual development plan. 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preli inary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Alituttes of Dubl City Council Meet National Graphles Corp., Cols, O.

Mr. Strip wondered about safeguards; if traffic studies or feasibility studies had been done, especially as regards peak times. Mr. Harrison Smith commented that they had mixed uses, the multi — family being reverse flow to office traffic.

Rezoning Application Z88 -014 - Tuttle Road/I -270 - Tuttle Crossing Ms. Leitzell presented slides of the site and surrounding area. -This application was heard informally last month, and a small tract of land which was previously annexed is now included bringing the total to 115.7 acres. -The site is located to the northeast of I -270 and Tuttle Road. The property abuts the western office portion of the Llewellyn Farms PUD and the Borror Corporation office property. To the north are residences in Washington Township on lots of about 700 feet in depth which face onto Rings Road. On the west side of the site are I -270 and a 20 -acre parcel which was annexed to Columbus, and to the south across Tuttle Road is additional land in Columbus which is expected to be used for commercial and apartment uses. Ms. Clarke presented the Commission with the following information: -The property was reclassified recently into the R, Rural District, and the applicant is requesting the PCD, Planned Commerce District. -The site is the Dublin portion of a major multi -use development which is expected to include the approval and construction of a new diamond interchange at I -270 and Tuttle Road at the developer's expense. This interchange will replace the long- expected I -270 interchange at Hayden Run Road. Dublin staff favors this interchange because it is closer to Dublin, and the land necessary for the interchange, as well as the cost of construction, is being provided at the developer's expense. The City of Columbus will be doing the construction and improvement of Tuttle Road with this development. Dublin has agreed to work with property owners to provide a northward connection to Rings Road. -Ms. Clarke had distributed a corrected text with the packets and noted that all the changes in the text were underlined. Most of the changes were minor; for instance, the main drive has been given the name "Tuttle Parkway," and the right -of -way has been corrected from 80 feet to 100 feet. Staff had requested some articulation of the developer's desire to create a first -class office park, and this has been provided on the second page of the text. This section states that the development will include a coordinated landscape project and will include deed restrictions to control signage, building materials, elevations, etc. 13- 0562/P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Minutes of Meeting, November 10, 1988 Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Page 8 -The site layout will include less intensive uses near Frantz Road. Moving toward I -270, the uses will become more intense to include signature, corporate- headquarter type offices and may include parking garages. - Sub -area A contains 34.4 acres, and the maximum density is 18,000 sq. ft. per acre. The minimum building height is two stories, with a maximum height of 100 plus feet. -Sub -area B is 37.7 acres to be developed at a maxi.mun density of 14,000 square feet per acre. The maximum height of structures is 65 feet. -Sub -area C is the easternmost 26.3 acres, and the maximum density is 11,000 square feet per acre. The maximum height of structures is also 65 feet. -Sub -area A -1 is 3.4 acres and is expected to be a services area with restaurants and banks. The applicant has added to the text that a drive -thru facility will be a Conditional Use instead of a Permitted Use as requested by the Commission. The revised text contains conditions pertaining to how these sub -areas will be developed to create a unified architectural expression. The buildings are to be internally oriented, and signage will not be toward Tuttle Road. -The traffic network has been redesigned in line with the recommendations of Barton- Aschman, the traffic consultant hired by Dublin for input on this development. -At the time the Staff Report was written, approval of the rezoning was recommended subject to: 1) Articulation of an architectural standard for the project as a whole. (Staff feels that this has been included in the revised text). 2) Revision of Development Standards text for correction and /or clarity. (Staff feels that these concerns have also been addressed in the revised text). 3) Submission of information regarding phasing, pedestrian /bike links, utilities, and applicable deed restrictions as required in the Composite Plan. (The applicant has specifically stated that deed restrictions will be established before a final Development Plan is submitted; pedestrian /bike links will also be presented for approval by Commission at a later point. In regards to phasing, staff is specifically concerned with the high- intensity uses near the freeway, and what will happen if the interchange is not approved, or if the interchange is substantially delayed. (The text states that Sub -area A will not be developed until such time as the interchange itself is under construction). Ms. Clarke explained the approval process of the relatively new PCD, Planned Commerce District. Mr. Geese asked Mr. Willis where the sewer will be coming from to service this project. Mr. Willis stated that he did not have that information with him. Mr. Bowman stated that the sewer is on Park Center Boulevard in the right -of -way between the Borror Corporation building and the American Cancer Society building. Mr. Geese asked where it will drain to. Mr. Bowman replied that it will drain between Phase 1 and Phase 2 of Llewellyn Farms. Mr. Geese questioned the capacity of the pump station with the development of a project this size. 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Minutes of Meeting, November 10, 1988 Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Page 9 Mr. Willis presented the engineering comments as follows: -Storm water management plans and engineering details are needed at the time of the final Development Plan. Mr. Ben Hale, attorney for the applicant, explained that when the subdivisions south of Hayden Run Road were put in, Columbus paid to have oversized trunk lines put in and brought a trunk line up (south of Tuttle Road) to service the tributary area. Most of this site will be serviced by going south to that trunk line down through Shire Cove and under the river. Only the Dublin portion of the development will be serviced through Dublin. Mr. Hale added that the sewer which is currently being installed further east, at the expense of Mr. Edwards, will also serve this project. Mr. Geese expressed concern about the need for developers to contribute toward the gravity flow sewer because he does not feel that force mains and pump stations are a long -term solution. Mr. Bowman stated that the sewer system was studied as part of Dublin's Master Plan, and the pipes are actually operating at a lower capacity than they were designed for. The ultimate solution to eliminating the pump stations is the installation of the West Bank Interceptor Sewer. Mr. Jezerinac asked if the pipes in Llewellyn Farms are adequately sized to handle development of this site. Mr. Bowman stated that potentially there could be a problem where the pipes come together at Frantz Road just south of Cramer Creek. This is based on the development of Washington Township, but this development itself should not cause a problem. Mr. Willis explained that the tributary area that this pipe serves extends westward into Washington Township. A problem could potentially occur if the entire tributary area were to be developed at a high density. C 1 Mr. Hale explained that the Tuttle Road /I -270 interchange better serves Dublin than the Hayden Run Road location would have. Mr. Edwards is paying for the $7.5 million interchange without any contribution from governmental entities. The City of Columbus is going to upgrade Tuttle Road. Mr. Hale stated that the developer hopes to have the interchange under construction in the spring of 1989. This full - service interchange should alleviate congestion on several of Dublin's roads. Mr. Jim Houk, a landscape architect with Bohm NBBJ, outlined changes in the plans as follows: -Mr. Houk demonstrated the site layout plan and stated that the major through road has been rerouted to a north /south direction. The developer is working with Dublin on a connection through to Rings Road to create a finished boulevard with a landscaped median from Tuttle Road up to Rings Road. Tuttle Road will also be upgraded to a landscaped - median boulevard from Hirth Road to Frantz Road. -Mr. Houk demonstrated a preliminary plan for a pedestrian pathway system through this development. The developer is working with the City of Columbus engineers trying to get an underpass under Tuttle Road to tie the quadrants together. Mr. Jezerinac questioned the development standards for the 20 acres of Columbus property located in the Dublin quadrant. Mr. Hale stated that it is the developer's intent to treat all areas of the project in a similar manner. Mr. Jezerinac expressed concern about the large buildings in in the Columbus portion having parking overlap into Dublin. Ms. Clarke stated that Dublin and Columbus staff should be able to coordinate the development of areas which cross the property line. Mr. Houk added that 13- 0562/P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Minutes of Meeting, November 10, 1988 Dublin Planning and zoning Commission Page 10 the deed restrictions referenced in the text are for the entire O ob " development, not just the Dublin portion. Mr. Reiner asked if this will include Dublin's Landscape Code. Mr. Houk replied that the standards will be the same. Ms. Clarke added that the Dublin Landscape Code was simplified for application in Columbus, but the requirements imply the same standard. Ms. Rausch asked if the the entrances on both the Dublin and Columbus sides of Tuttle Road will be mirrored. Mr. Houk replied that the entry treatment will be the same. Mr. Jezerinac expressed concern about allowing drive -thru facilities as a Conditional Use in Sub -area B. Mr. Hale and Mr. Houk agreed that a drive -thru facility will be limited to office uses such as a bank or insurance office because they are the only Permitted Uses in this district. A fast -food restaurant is not a Permitted Use in this district. Mr. Jezerinac asked what the justification was for a density of 14,000 square feet per acre in Area B. Mr. Houk stated that they are creating a transition zone. Mr. Jezerinac stated that Sub -area B is too big for such a high density. He also suggested that Sub -area C have a maximum density of 10,000 square feet per acre to be consistent with Llewellyn Farms office development. Ms. Clarke stated that she compared these intensities with the development in Metro Center. The Trammel Crow and Linclay buildings, which are even closer to Frantz Road, are at about 16,000 square feet per acre. Sub -area B will also be across from more intense uses (a shopping center /fast -food restaurants) on the south side of Tuttle Road in Columbus. Ms. Rausch noted that with the office trend going to flex time, shifts may overlap creating a need for additional parking. Mr. Jezerinac asked why it was the intent to develop Sub -area C first. Mr. Hale stated that the developer feels that this area is the most marketable now. A road is scheduled to be built through Sub -area C from Tuttle Road to Frantz Road to connect with Park Center Drive in 1989. Mr. Jezerinac stated that he feels it is imperative for the City of Dublin to add the two additional lanes to Frantz Road in the very near future. Mr. Hale added that if things go as planned, Frantz Road improvements, Tuttle Road improvements and the interchange should be on line at the same time. Mr. Berlin made a motion to approve the rezoning application subject to Item 3 in the Staff Report of November 10, 1988, which states: Submission of information regarding phasing, pedestrian /bike links, utilities, and applicable deed restrictions as required in Composite Plan will be subitted prior to the Development Plan. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion and the vote was as follows: Mr. Reiner, yes; Ms. Rausch, yes; Mr. Jezerinac, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Berlin, yes; Mr. Geese, yes. The motion was passed 6 -0. At this time, the meeting was recessed for approximately 15 minutes. 0 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Minutes of Meeting, October 6, 1988 Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Page 17 5. Informal Review - Rezoning Application Z88 -014 - Tuttle /I -270 - Edwards Crossing Ms. Leitzell presented slides of the subject site and surrounding area: -The site contains 109.27 acres of land located to the northeast of I -270 and Tuttle Road. The property abuts the western portion of the Llewellyn Farms PUD and the Borror Corporation office property. To the north are residences in Washington Township which face onto Rings Road on lots of about 700 feet in depth. On the west side of the site are I -270 and a 20 -acre parcel which was annexed to Columbus, and to the south across Tuttle Road is additional land in Columbus which is expected to be used for commercial and apartment uses. -The proposed site is the Dublin portion of a major multi -use development which is expected to include the approval and construction of a new diamond interchange with I -270 at Tuttle Road. Ms. Clarke presented the Commission with the following information: -The subject site was reclassified into the R, Rural District, following annexation to Dublin. This application is to rezone the property to PCD, Planned Commerce District. -The proposed interchange (to be constructed at the developer's expense) has not been formally approved by the federal authorities. Staff expects that this will be accomplished within the next several weeks. -The developer has control over several hundred acres in all four quadrants of the proposed interchange. Immediately at the northeast corner of the proposed interchange is a 20 -acre parcel which was annexed to Columbus, along with the other three quadrants of the interchange. The remaining 109 acres in the northeast quadrant are in Dublin. -The proposed section of the development which is in Dublin has a street system which will continue that which has been started with the Llewellyn Farms PUD, as well as creating new streets. The existing surrounding street system will be greatly impacted by the amount of development which is projected for this area, and the City of Dublin has hired Barton- Aschman Associates to assess the impact and required improvements so that the Dublin surface street system continues to function for the municipality. The applicant has agreed to work with Staff on strengthening the north /south connection in this particular development. Staff is hopeful to connect this development through to Rings Road. -The applicant is generally asking for SO, OLR, and hotel /motel uses. Small offices (probably financial institutions) with drive -thru facilities are also expected along Tuller Road. The heights and intensity of the development will be greater near the freeway than it will be eastward towards Frantz Road. - Copies of the rezoning application that is being concurrently heard for the acreage in the City of Columbus had been previously distributed to the Commission members. Ms. Clarke stated that the case was tabled by the Development Commission on September 22, 1988, to give the applicant the opportunity to meet with adjacent property owners. It is scheduled to be heard again on October 13th. Mr. Geese asked what determined whether the land was annexed to Columbus or Dublin. Mr. Bowman replied that the property owners petitioned to annex the property. 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Minutes of Meeting, October 6, 1988 Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Page 18 Mr. Jeffrey Brown, attorney for the applicant, presented some history on the Columbus land for the proposed interchange. Approximately two years ago, Pete Edwards purchased the land in the area and originally was considering an interchange at Hayden Run Road. After realizing high construction costs due to environmental concerns and problems with acquisition of necessary right -of -way due to existing structures, the applicant met with MORPC. Wilbur Smith Associates then did a study on several proposals for an interchange on this stretch of the freeway. An interchange at Tuttle Road and I -270 was the option which was then pursued. Further studies were undertaken and approved by Columbus, MORPC, and the State of Ohio; and the plan is now being processed through the Federal Highway Administration. Mr. Brown presented a letter from the State Highway Department outlining the progress to date. One entity owning all four corners of the interchange will be beneficial in producing a uniform product. Mr. Jim Houk, the architect for the project, presented several plans of different aspects of the site and outlined the Dublin section. -He explained the proposed roadway network for the Dublin quadrant. The developer's traffic consultant, Wilbur Smith Associates, and the City's traffic consultant, Barton- Aschman, have studied the area traffic network and have concluded that the north -south road may be developed in boulevard form between Tuttle and Rings Road. Dublin is working toward purchasing land in Washington Township to complete the connection of this north -south road with Blazer Memorial Parkway. -The northeast quadrant (Dublin) is proposed as the key corporate office area of the entire development with large -scale signature offices along the freeway winding down to the smaller owner occupied type office buildings that are now present along Frantz Road. The northeast corner of the interchange (Columbus) is planned to be a major full- service hotel site. - Several proposed uses were described for the other three quadrants as well. -The developer is working toward a four - corner entry feature including an extensive landscaping program for an award winning interchange. -The first phase of development will probably include the smaller offices in Dublin and apartments in Columbus. The developer is also working toward creating manicured massive green spaces through the interim stages of development. -The developer is working on comprehensive signage controls for the entire development in deed restriction form. Mr. Mark Magalotti, traffic engineer with Wilbur Smith Associates, presented a brief review of the extensive study that went into the area traffic program to generate the approval of the access for the ramp system. The study concentrated on trying to justify an interchange somewhere between the existing Hilliard interchange and the St. Rt. 161 interchange, with review by MORPC and ODOT. Traffic projections were provided by ODOT. Land use projections were done with their computer model program, and ground counts were also done and compared with the computer data. Traffic projections were done for the year 2010. The design for the Tuttle Road interchange which has been selected and is about to be approved consists of a diamond interchange. The study also identified that I -270 in the area of the interchange will have to 13- 056Z /P D P Rezoning /Preliminary Development Plan Parkcenter Circle PUD 5515 Parkcenter Circle Minutes of Meeting, October 6, 1988 Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Page 19 be widened to six lanes at some time in the future, and provisions will be made for that widening. The assumption was also made that Tuttle Road will be widened to four lanes in the interchange area as part of the necessary improvements to accommodate the interchange. Site plan land use projections were based on the year 1998. Mr. Magalotti detailed the roadway network including access and signalization points. Mr. Jezerinac suggested that the traffic studies take into account the signalization points that exist on Frantz Road north of Rings Road and determine if all the signals will be necessary with the addition of signals at Rings /Frantz and Tuttle /Frantz. Mr. Geese asked about the development procedure with the pending approval of the interchange. Ms. Clarke explained that the City of Columbus Development Commission decided that only the commercial portions of the development were tied directly to the approval. Mr. Geese also asked about the limitations of the west bank sewer and how much development can be done. Mr. Willis stated that the west branch sewer will be sized to handle the flow from all of Washington Township whether inside or outside of Dublin's City limits. Mr. Houk explained their plans for the sewer route. Mr. Geese expressed concern about who would be paying for the sewer. Mr. Geese was concerned about the sewage going into the Cramer Creek pump station and whether or not it is capable of handling this. Mr. Houk stated that this has been reviewed by the various bodies involved and supposedly the capacity exists to service this site. Mr. Houk will have the engineer come up with more specifics. Ms. Rausch asked if fast food restaurants were planned along Tuttle Road. Mr. Houk replied that they do not know right now but the desire is to market this area to financial institutions. Ms. Rausch noted that she does not want to see fast food restaurants along Tuttle Road. Mr. Grace suggested listing more of the Permitted Uses as Conditional Uses. Mr. Houk stated that they will be glad to list the fast food restaurants as Conditional Uses and added that the intent is to create a food court around the lake. There were no further comments on the informal review, and no vote was taken. Because of the late hour, a motion was made, seconded and unanimously passed to table the the hearing on: Bikeway Plan Element of Community Plan. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 12:25 p.m. Tamra S.
