To Whom It May Concern: It was brought to our attention that in order to enlarge our building and add additional warehousing we are required to add quite a few of additional parking spaces. However, in the past forty eight years that we have been at our present location, we have found twenty spaces to be quite adequate. Therefore, the additional parking spaces that you are requiring we feel are not necessary. Thank you for your consideration.

Rezoning Statement: i State briefly how the proposed zoning and development relates to the existing and potential future land use character of the vicinity. Originally this area was on the far outskirts of Dublin and existing land use reflects] this. Majority of properties in area are zoned General Industrial, but property to ~ immediate west (self storage units) is now zoned PIP and second property to south (offices) is zoned PUD. Existing use on this property is nonconforming to General ~ Industrial District. Future land use character of vicinity is more permanent-__and mixed use, as evidenced by Avery Road improvements, Perimeter shopping centers and f offices immediately across Route 33. Proposed (PCD) zoning brings existing use into j zoning compliance and allows future use more in keeping with the trend of the I development in this area. i f State briefly how the proposed zoning and development relates to the Dublin Community Plan. 1 1 ~ As envisioned in the Dublin Community Plan, future land use for this area is to be non-residential or light industrial. The proposed allowed uses for the site (offices, light manufacturing/assembly, retail commercial, financial services, personal services) fit into the non-residential future land use. Proposed addition with site improvements, landscaping, and new paving will enhance positive image of Dublin immediately adjacent to a Community Plan interchange gateway (Avery Road/Route 33). { k Previous Application: Has an application for rezoning the property been denied by the City Council within the last two (2) years?

I. Introduction: A) The Owner of the Property is James R. McKitrick, who currently operates Hilliards Furniture Company, Inc. at the above referenced property/location. The applicant is Jack D. Walters ~ A.I.A. of Jack D. Walters & Associates, authorized representative. The Property is described in detail in the legal description submitted with the zoning application and shown on the accompanying Site Plan/Landscaping Plan. The Property is 1.765 acres in area and is improved with an existing single story commercial building. When the Property was annexed into Dublin, the building and business (Hilliards Furniture) were already at the site. This site was originally classifed as General Industrial: therefore, .from the time of annexation; the property has been anon-conforming use. The Owner wishes to expand current operations at the site, as-well as allow for future use of the site for occupancies more suited to the size of the site and its prominent location next to Route 33 at the Avery Road interchange, the symbolic gateway to Dublin. The text and development standards herein described are intended to accommodate the peculiarities of the Property as well as 1) suit the needs of the current use (furniture store) and 2) allow for a wider range of future occupancies appropriate to the area and the Dublin Community Plan while precluding more objectionable occupancies currently allowed under the General Industrial zoning district classification. B) References are to the Dublin Zoning Code in effect as of February, 2002. C) Building elevations, plans, materials, landscaping, exterior lighting, and grading will be submitted for approval as part of the Development Plan in order to ensure the standards required by this text have been met. D) If the standards conflict in any way with the City of Dublin Codified Ordinances, then the Planned Commerce District standards shall prevail. Dublin Zoning Code standards shall be applicable for matters not covered in this document. E) This Development Standards Text has been modified to incorporate comments and conditions in the Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report dated April 11, 2002. 11. Permitted Uses: A) Property to be re-zoned to Planned Commerce District (PCD). Permitted uses shall be sub- set of those allowed per Dublin Zoning Code Section 153.058, as follows: 1) Existing and proposed Use is Retail Commercial, limited to Furniture, Large Appliances; or other retail characterized by large goods and limited occupancy, subject to approval ` by City of Dublin Director of Planning. 2) General office, professional and business office, corporate office, and medical offices. 3) Financial service; personal service as defined in Zoning Code Section 153.058 (B)(10). III. Conditional Uses 1) Light manufacturing, warehousing, fabricating, and assembly. Conditional Use is subject to approval in accordance with Dublin Zoning Section 153.236. 2) Retail Commercial, requiring parking in excess of that required by furniture, lumber, or large appliance stores per Zoning Code Section 153.212; Conditional Use is subject to approval in accordance with Zoning Code Section 153.236. 5~Q -cz, Date: 04/18/02 _ 1~J~ ~ _ `i IV. Stages of Development: A) This text will be applied to use of the site in the following phases; all following development standards apply to all stages unless specifically stated otherwise. Phase I: No changes to existing use, building, or site; the existing conditions are "grandfathered", and the following development standards do nbt apply. Re-zoning the property from General Industrial to Planned Commerce District corrects situation of pre- existing non-conforming use in General Industrial District, with accompanying development . standards controlling any and all further development. Phase II: Existing building use (Retail Commercial, Furniture or Large Appliance) is retained, current access and site utilities are maintained, with proposed building addition and improvements to site parking and landscaping. As part of the scope of work of this phase, storm water detention shall be implemented, the existing gravel parking lot shall be paved, connection shall be made to city water supply, and existing on-site storage trailers shall be removed. Phase III: Triggered by conversion to permitted uses as outlined in Paragraph 11 A) or conditional uses as outlined in Paragraph III A), with more extensive parking requirements than existing use. Existing building and Phase II addition are to remain; phase III requires extension of and connection to municipal sanitary sewer service and further improvements to site parking and Ian scaping. Phase IV: (Not shown on composite plan): Construction of new structure and/or site parking improvements, permitted uses as outlined in Paragraph II A) or conditional uses as outlined in Paragraph III A), requires connection to municipal water and sanitary sewer service. Development standards shall be as stated below. Any demolition with new construction shall require a new development plan to be reviewed and approved by the Dublin Planning Commission. V. Composite Plan: Refer to attached Site/Landscaping Plan. VI. Development Standards: A) Setback: The building and parking setbacks shall be as shown on the survey and listed below: 1) Front Building setback (along Old Avery Road, East Property line): The existing building is setback 58' (at its closest point) from existing Old Avery Road right-of-way line. The proposed building setback is 30'-0" from the Old Avery Road right-of-way, or 60'-0" from Old Avery Road centerline. Existing loading space extends to 8'-0" from right-of-way line, to remain. Any future development involving front parking lot revision shall comply with requirements of Zoning Code Section 153.072 (A)(2). 2) Side Building/Paving setback (along Route 33 right-of-way): The existing building is setback (at its closest point) 33'-8" from right-of-way. Any new construction, all buildings and accessory buildings, and paving, shall be setback a minimum of 50'-0", as specified in Dublin Zoning Regulations Section 153.072 (B). 3) South Property line: Site paving setback shall be 5'-0" from property line. Site building setback shall be 15'-0" from property line. Redevelopment of site to Use other than current Retail Commercial (Furniture, Large Appliance) shall result in building and auxiliary structure setbacks calculated based on proposed use. 4) West Property line: Site paving setback shall be 5'-0" from property line. Site building setback shall be 15'-0" from property line. Redevelopment of site to Use other than Date: 04/18/02 - 2~~ current Retail Commercial (Furniture, Large Appliance) shall result in building and auxiliary structure setbacks calculated based on proposed use. B) Height requirements: The existing and proposed building height is approximately 26 feet (from average grade level to peak of gable roof), or 21 feet (from average grade to mid-point of gable slope). Proposed maximum building height for property is the same as the existing height at 21 feet (from the average grade level to the mid-point of gable slope, as measured by the Dublin Zoning Code). C) Parking and Loading; Refer to Site/Landscaping plan for parking layout. 1) Phase II parking design is based on current usage (Retail Commercial, Furniture Store) or uses that require similar parking density for the existing building and proposed addition, calculated based on Owner experience for this use on this site. Refer to Item II A) 1) above. Phase II parking shall total (2) loading spaces and (27) automobile parking spaces, including (2) handicapped accessible spaces. The (2) loading spaces and (4) employee spaces will be on the existing gravel surfaced area, and the new parking area including (23) spaces with HC accessible spaces will be hard surfaced. 2) Phase III parking shall total (2) loading spaces and (73) automobile parking spaces, including (3) handicapped accessible spaces. The (2) loading spaces and (4) employee spaces will be on the existing gravel surfaced area, and the newer parking area including (69) spaces with HC accessible spaces will be hard surfaced. 3) Passenger vehicle parking spaces will be 9 ft wide x 19 ft long. 4) East vehicular use area (along Old Avery Road): the existing vehicular use area is gravel surfaced and extends continually along Old Avery Road, with no designated curb cut. This area is to be covered with hard surfaced paving as part of the work of phase II. Due to lack of maneuvering space at location of the existing loading spaces and the location of the site (at the end of a dead end road with no through traffic), we propose leaving the existing loading area open to Old Avery Road along the East front of the property, with no front yard paving setback or landscape screening mound. Applicant will work with City of Dublin Zoning staff to provide screening of the east vehicular use area and provide access management as part of the phase II final development plan. The property directly across Old Avery Road from the Owner's Property contains a stone faced retaining wall and the earthen embankment for the new Avery Road bridge over Route 33; there is no occupied property that fronts the Owner's Property at Old Avery Road. The landscaping and solid concrete bridge guardrails installed with the new Avery Road bridge almost completely obscure the front loading area from the vehicular traffic on Avery Road. D) Waste and Refuse: As part of phase II development, dumpster and mechanical units are to be screened. Dumpster enclosure shall be constructed of opaque wood fencing, opaque vegetative screen, or opaque screen of same materials approved for future building e evations, complying with requirements of Zoning Code Section 153.077: Refer to Site/Landscaping Plan. E) Storage and Equipmenfi 1) No materials, supplies, equipment or products shall be stored or permitted to remain on any portion of the property outside of a permanent structure. 2) New~echanical equipment or other service structures shall be screened from pyblic view with materials_Tiar'i~onious with the building. 3) Existing on-site storage trailers are to be removed as part of the phase II development. F) Circulation: _ 1) There shall be one paved "curb cut" from the Property to Old Avery Road at the southeast corner of the site for automobile/customer traffic. 2) Stage IV future site access may be coordinated with owner of adjacent private service road directly to South of subject property. Date: 04/18/02 _ 3~~ 3) Applicant will work with the City of Dublin Zoning staff to provide access management to east vehicular use area as part of phase II development; refer to VI C) 4) above. 4) Due to unique nature of site at end of "Dead End" Old Avery Road, intent of Zoning Code regarding screening of vehicle area from public right of way can be satisfied be installing fencing and/or landscaping screening loading spaces and existing gravel surfaced area from property and public/semi-public roadways to the south. Refer to Composite plan for proposed loading area screening. Applicant will work with City of Dublin Zoning staff to comply with perimeter landscaping requirements at east vehicular use area as part of phase II and phase III development in-as-far as is practicable; refer to VI C) 4) above. Stage IV new construction shall comply with perimeter landscaping requirements set forth in Section 153.133 for property fronting on public right-o -way. G) Lot Coverage: The proposed and future lot coverage shall be limited to 70%, to comply with Zoning Section 153.071 (B)(4)(a). H) Landscaping: The landscaping shall be as shown on the Composite Plan and shall comply with code, subject to staff approval.

'tiara M. Clarke, Director of Planning L Hilliards Furniture is a 1.76-acre site located at the southwest corner of US33 and Old Avery Road. The site was annexed into the City in 1965, predating most Dublin development standards. It was placed in the GI, General Industrial District following annexation. Unfortunately, this district does not permit retail uses, and while this business has been interested in expansion for several years, this pis not permitted under the Dublin Zoning Code. The store is a legally non-conforming use at present. This is a request to rezone the site from GI, General Industrial District, to PCD, Planned Commercial District for the expansion of an existing furniture store. The GI district permits a wide range of objectionable manufacturing, warehousing, and industrial uses. The PCD will severely contract the industrial possibilities, and it will provide for orderly expansion. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of this rezoning request on April 11, 2002 with eight conditions. The applicant has revised the development text and has addressed Conditions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8. Conditions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will be further refined and addressed during the development plan process for the proposed 5,280 square foot addition. ,~30Ipz ~~9~OZ 1 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECORD OF ACTION APRIL 11, 2002 .~;i~n c?h~ Ix ttl,n Division of Planning 5800 Shier-Rings Road Dublin, Ohio 43016-1236 Phane/TDD:614-410-4600 ° Fax: 614-161-6566 Web Site: www.dublin.oh-us The Planning and Zoning Commission took the following action at this meeting: 1.

Rezoning 02-0072 -Hilliards Furniture - 6319 Old Avery Road Location: 1.765 acres located on the west side of Old Avery Road at its northern terminus, immediately south of US 33. Existing Zoning: GI, General Industrial District. Request: Review and approval of a rezoning to PCD, Planned Commerce District under the provisions of Section 153.058. Proposed Use: A 5,280 square foot addition to an existing 11,558 square foot furniture store. Applicant: James R. McKitrick, P.O. Box 96, Dublin, Ohio 43017; represented by Jack D. Walters, Jack D. Walters and Associates, Inc., 7265 Industrial Parkway, Plain City, Ohio 43064. Staff Contact: Mary H. Newcomb, Senior Planner. UPDATE: This case was postponed due to the late hour at the March 21,2002 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The staff report is essentially unchanged except for a minor clarification of proposed condition two. BACKGROUND: Hilliards Furniture has been operating at this location for almost 50 years. It was annexed into the City in 1965, predating most Dublin development standards. The furniture store predates the construction of the Avery/LJS 33 interchange, and the limiting of access onto US 33. This is a request to rezone 1.76 acres of property from GI, General Industrial District, to PCD, Planned Commerce District for the expansion of an existing furniture store. The Planned Commerce District, PCD, composite plan (rezoning) establishes the permissible density, development standards, and layout of the site. The Commission is to make a recommendation on this rezoning request. The rezoning ordinance will then return to City Council for a public hearing and final vote. Atwo-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 Council approval. The proposal will also be subject to future review of a development plan by the Commission prior to construction. Section 153.058(E) establishes criteria for composite plan approval: ~r Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report -April 11, 2002 Page 2 • The proposed development is consistent is all respects with the purpose, intent and applicable standards of the zoning ordinance; • The proposed development is in conformity with appropriate comprehensive planning. • The proposed development advances the general welfare of the municipality and immediate vicinity. • The relationships of buildings and structures to each other and to such other facilities maintains the image of Dublin as a planned community. • The acceptability of setbacks, distances between buildings, yard space, suitability of open space systems, traffic accessibility and other elements having a bearing on the overall accept- ability of the development plans, shall contribute to the orderly development of land within the City. • The location of access points shall maintain the function of adjacent thoroughfare by relation to existing access points on surrounding development, the street patterns, the thoroughfare plan and the intensity of proposed uses. • The development within this district shall provide safe, convenient, and non-conflicting circulation systems for motorist, bicyclist, and pedestrians. • The plan provides for the coordination and integration of individually designed buildings into one planned district. • That by deed restrictions or otherwise a sufficient assurance that once development commences, later phases will be consistent with those already in place. CONSIDERATIONS: Site Characteristics and Zoning: • The 1.76-acre site is rectangular and has 350 feet of frontage on US 33 and 145 feet on Old Avery Road. The site is at the end of Old Avery Road and is visible from US 33, the US 33/Avery interchange, and Avery Road. The furniture showroom contains 11,558 square feet and has gravel parking for 10 cars and two loading spaces. The only trees on the site are "volunteers" growing up and around two stationary truck trailers. An overhead utility line parallels the south property line. Two dumpsters are not screened. An on-site sewage disposal system is located near the west property line and it will remain. The site is zoned GI, General Industrial District and is bordered on the north by US 33 and then undeveloped land in the Riverside Hospital PCD. To the west are self-service storage units zoned PIP, Planned Industrial Park. To the east, across Old Avery Road is the steep embankment and right-of--way for the Avery/Muirfield Drive bridge. To the south and southwest is Anderson Concrete zoned PIP. Farther south are three office/warehouse buildings zoned PIP. • The site is legally non-confornzing as to setback from US 33 and Old Avery Road, landscaping, hard-surfaced parking, and minimum number of parking spaces. Community Plan Issues: • The Community Plan examined several specific geographic areas in greater detail; one of these is the Avery Road Area Plan. (Refer to Community Plan, pages 87-96.) This site is shown as part of a future research and development area. The challenge of the area plan is to link a mix of uses with an interconnecting street and sidewalk system and to have buildings which front on streets and loading areas that are internal or architecturally screened. New development plans should also be compatible and respond to adjacent developments. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report -April 11, 2002 Page 3 • "Old Avery Road" extends northward from Shier-Rings Road and terminates at US 33. The existing right-of--way is 60 feet. The Avery/US 33 interchange was upgraded last year. Other recent road improvements include Franklin County improvements to the Shier-Rings and Avery Road intersection. Land Use: • The site was annexed in 1965, is surrounded by industrial uses, and is one of the very few "GI" sites in Dublin. The GI District permits a wide range of objectionable manufacturing, ware ousing, and industrial uses. These include: manufacturing of millwork and prefabricated structural wood products, sawmills and planing mills, glass and glassware, ready-mixed concrete, iron and steel foundries, engines and turbines, railroad equipment, appliances, electrical industrial apparatus, etc. • This site, although located in an industrial zone, has been used for a retail use since its construction. Under Dublin Code, there is really no opportunity to expand non-conforming uses. In order to expand the building, this property needs to be placed in a zone that permits retail furniture sales. • The proposed text would limit the permitted uses to: retail sales of furniture, large appliances or other large goods and limited occupancy retail; general and medical offices; financial services and personal services. Proposed conditional uses include: retail that needs more parking than furniture and large appliance stores; and light manufacturing, light warehousing, light fabricating, and light assembly. The text should further limit the "light" uses to those that are operated entirely with an enclosed structure, emit no dust, smoke, noxious odor or fumes outside the structure and limit noise at the property line to average noise level on the street. All service areas and loading docks must be entirely enclosed. Site Layout/Access Considerations/Traffic Management • The existing building is located in the eastern third of the site, and the addition will be to the west. The current entrance is located on the east side of the building and the gravel parking lot extends east right up to the pavement of Old Avery Road. There are two truck trailers located to the south of the existing building that have been in place long enough for trees to grow around and through them. • The main entrance is to be relocated to the south side of the addition. Phase II parking is proposed next to the future main entrance and to the west of the addition. Phase III parking, which will be constructed when the use changes or the site is redeveloped, is proposed on the western portion of the site and along the south property line. • There is no curbing on site at the present time. A single, 22-foot wide curb cut is proposed near the southeastern corner of the site. • There is no "turnaround" at the north terminus of Old Avery Road and semi-trucks often use the gravel lot to turnaround. Abetter layout for access and circulation should be investigated. A redesign of the eastern parking lot providing greenspace, access management, and allowing for turning movements should be incorporated into the development plan Development Standards: • The proposed setbacks are shown on the composite plan. The proposed building setback along Old Avery Road is 30 feet from right-of--way. There is currently a gravel parking lot right along Old Avery Road. The required pavement setback is 18 feet and should be indicated in the text for any future redevelopment of the site. The Code requires a building Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report -April 11, 2002 Page 4 and pavement setback along US 33 of 50 feet. The PCD text proposes a 50-foot setback for new construction, but the existing building and gravel lot are set back about 35 feet and are legally non-conforming. Any future buildings and pavement will have to comply with the 50-foot setback. The proposed addition is set back about 51 feet from US 33. • Along the west and south property lines, building and pavement setbacks of five feet are proposed. A five-foot pavement setback is acceptable; however, afive-foot building setback is not. A minimum building setback of 15 feet would be more appropriate for the permitted ~M uses. Specific setbacks for more intensive uses, i.e. the proposed conditional uses will have to be incorporated into the text. Per Code, manufacturing and warehouse uses require side and rear yards based on the height and depth/width of a structure. The existing building and proposed addition do not meet the required industrial setbacks. Conditional uses cannot e considered until the proposed Phase IV development (total redevelopment) per the text. • The existing lot coverage is approximately 33 percent. Proposed lot coverage after the building addition and Phase II parking will be 69 percent. The proposed text limits the lot coverage to 70 percent, which is typical. • The existing density is 6,548 square feet per acre. The expanded building would yield 9,540 square feet per acre. • The existing height of the building is 21 feet as measured by Code (to the midpoint of the gable). Proposed maximum height in the text is also 21 feet. • Per the text, the development is divided into four phases. Phase I includes the current use with no building expansion and retaining the existing gravel parking lot. A designated handicap accessible parking space should be located on the site. Phase II includes the 5,280 square foot expansion for the furniture store. It will include 27 parking spaces located to the south and west of the addition (including two handicap accessible spaces) and two loading spaces on the east side of the building. The existing gravel lot is to remain. Landscaping will be added to provide the perimeter buffer along US 33 and partial screening of the parking lot. Phase III will be triggered by conversion to a new permitted land use with the existing/expanded building and includes the installation of 46 more spaces for a total of 73 spaces. This phase requires extension of and connection to the City's water and sanitary sewer service. Phase IV will involve a total redevelopment of the site. The text needs to be clear that full Code compliance happens with Phases III and IV. . Per Dublin Code, the minimum number of parking spaces for a furniture store of 16,838 square feet (existing building and proposed addition) is 85 spaces (based on one parking space per 200 square feet of gross floor area) and 27 spaces are proposed. This is significantly lower than the minimum required by Code. Based on experience at this site, the applicant feels this is adequate parking for the furniture business. • Reuse of the expanded building as a more intensive retail use, would require 113 spaces (at one per 150 square feet). The site~lan as proposed with the addition of 5 280 square feet will not support more intensive retail uses. The largest gross retail reliant upon 73 parking spaces (one space per 150 square feet) would be 10,950 square feet. This is less than the existing building. These intensive retail uses will require future Planning Commission approval under the conditional use provisions. Architecture: • The existing building and roof use white ribbed pre-finished metal panels. This square warehouse building has few windows or doors and has a gable roof. • The proposed 5,280 square foot addition is a simple rectangular design with a gable roof. The new entrance vestibule will face south. The proposed addition is to match the existing Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report -April 11, 2002 Page 5 metal building materials. A cultured stone water table (Stone Products Limestone Cultured - ~ Stone `Lake Erie') is proposed at the new main entrance. Three windows are proposed facing US 33 and three windows are proposed in the entrance vestibule. No windows are proposed on the west elevation. Staff believes that additional stone accents and architectural details on the addition would improve its appearance and should be required during the development plan process. The existing roof and the addition roof should be painted to match and be of a contrasting color to the white siding. • The text states that any future development (beyond the proposed 5,280 square foot addition) «.W, will require brick, stone, wood and pre-finished aluminum building materials with a 4:12 slope roof constructed of wood shake, slate, dimensional shingles, or standing seam metal. Landscaping/Tree Preservation: • A detailed landscape plan will be required at the development plan. • The development text proposes landscaping that does not meet fully Code. The absence of greenspace between the parking lot and Old Avery Road makes it impossible to screen and to add street trees. The text requires compliance with the property perimeter buffer along US 33 and interior landscaping. It is deficient in terms of parking lot screening (evergreen hedge is shown, deciduous trees are not). All new parking areas will have to be screened to Code. • The proposed landscaping for Phase II includes partial screening along the south side of the parking lot. The required 3.5-fooot high screening is shown, but the perimeter deciduous trees are not. Small trees should be planted underneath the utility line. This phase also includes the installation of evergreen screening along the south side of the loading area. • The proposed addition constitutes a 46 percent expansion, which, by Code, triggers landscape compliance for the entire site. Staff recommends that landscaping meet Code with the exception of Old Avery Road street trees. Screening of the east side of the parking lot should be investigated in conjunction with an alternative access and circulation plan to be developed as part of the development plan. • The text requires all existing and proposed mechanical units and dumpsters need to be screened to Code. • The site has two unscreened dumpsters. One is located next to the front entrance and the other is located towards the rear. A dumpster with an enclosure is shown to the rear of the proposed addition. The second dumpster will have to be removed or fully screened to Code. ~h~. Signage/Lighting: • The building now has two wall signs. An 80 square foot, 15-foot high wall sign is located on the north elevation, facing US 33. It is irregular in shape with three colors (dark green, ivory, and white). The sign is not illuminated. A sign permit was issued for this sign in November 1997. The second wall sign is located on the east elevation is 11 feet high and consists of individual black letters. A missing letter "L" should be replaced. • Per Code, the site is entitled to two signs because it has 100 feet of frontage on two public rights-of--way. Wall signs are limited to one square foot in area for every lineal foot of the wall to which the sign is attached, up to 80 square feet. The existing building is entitled to two 80 square foot wall signs or two ground signs totaling 67 square feet (neither over 50 square feet). • The text states that any future signage will meet Code and ground signs will be limited to six feet in height and 50 square feet in area. A combination of walUground signs is not proposed in the text. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report -April 11, 2002 Page 6 There is no exterior lighting except a floodlight located on the east elevation by the existing front entrance. The proposed development text requires lighting to meet Code and the Dublin Exterior Lighting Guidelines. Utilities/ Stormwater Management: • The site is currently served by a well and an on-site sewage disposal system. The Ohio EPA and Franklin County Health Department will have to review and approve any proposal that will impact the existing sewage disposal system. • At the present time, the water service is available to the site from an 16-inch water main located along the east side of Old Avery Road. Connection to water service should occur when the building is expanded (Phase II). • Sanitary sewer service is not immediately available to the site. It currently terminates at the Dublin Building Systems site located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Avery Road and Shier-Rings Road. To provide service to the site, the 8-inch sanitary sewer will have to be extended north from the current location. This will be required for Phases III and IV. • The size of the construction may require either a fire suppression system or construction of a two-hour firewall. Afire suppression system will require extension and connection to the City water system. • The proposed text needs to clarify that future utilities will not only be connected, but also extended to the site. • Stormwater management for the site will have to comply with the City's Stormwater management regulations. A detention basin is shown to the north of the building. Preliminary Stormwater calculations demonstrating the feasibility of the Stormwater management plan for the site will need to be submitted for staff review. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed application is commonly called a "downzoning." The proposed PCD will eliminate many of the objectionable uses that are permitted in the GI District. Staff believes this site is appropriate for proposed uses. Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning with eight conditions: Conditions: 1) That the text be revised to incorporate comments in this staff report prior to the scheduling of the public hearing at City Council; 2) That preliminary Stormwater management calculations be submitted with the construction of the 5,280 square foot addition (Phase II development), subject to staff approval; 3) That the existing gravel lot be hard surfaced with the construction of the 5,280 square foot addition (Phase II development); 4) That the site be connected to the City water system with Phase II development; 5) That the applicant work with staff to provide screening of the east side of the parking lot and provide access management in the eastern parking lot as part of the development plan; 6) That all dumpsters and existing mechanical units be screened to Code; 7) That landscaping comply with Code, subject to staff approval; and 8) That the existing wall sign on the east elevation be repaired prior to scheduling the public hearing at City Council. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report -,April 11, 2002 Page 7 Bases: 1) The proposal limits more objectionable uses in the GI, General Industrial District. 2) The proposal corrects a number of non-conformities at the site, including paving the existing gravel lot. 3) The proposal provides an appropriate transitional land use for the surrounding area. ~,~,a Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -April 11, 2002 Page 3 1. Rezoning 02-0072 - Hilliards Furniture - 6319 Old Avery Road Mary Newcomb said this is a request to rezone Hilliard's Furniture from GI, General Industrial District to PCD, Planned Commerce District. It has been in operation for nearly 50 years, and it was annexed into Dublin in 1965, predating many of Dublin's development regulations. It is a non-conforming retail use in an industrial zone. The applicant would like to expand the business, and this requires rezoning it to a retail zone. Under the PCD, the proposed addition and site changes will require Commission approval prior to construction. She showed several slides. The 1.76-acre site is located at the southwest corner of US 33 and the terminus of Old Avery Road, abutting several industrial uses. The sanitary sewer service is not yet available to the site. The store is an 11,000 square foot white metal building with two wall signs. She noted a sign was recently repaired, and Condition 8 can be deleted. The parking area is gravel and will remain. Staff requests that the two dumpsters be relocated to the rear of the site and screened. Ms. Newcomb said a 5,280 square foot addition is proposed on the west side of the store. It is to be constructed of light metal with cultured stone details, to match the new bridge. She said staff would like to more detailing on the building because it has few windows. A leach field for sanitary disposal is located in the expansion area. When the building is expanded, the on-site system will require approval of Franklin County Board of Health and the Ohio EPA. Ms. Newcomb said no new signs are requested, and a new ground sign is limited to six feet and height. The development text refers to four development phases. In the first phase, the site is rezoned so it will be a conforming use, maintaining the gravel parking lot without hooking into the sanitary sewer. It includes landscape buffering along US 33. Phase 2 is the 5,280 square foot addition for the furniture use or a similar low traffic retail use and redoing the parking in asphalt. This requires full landscape Code compliance. Phase 3 includes adding more paved parking and would allow conditional uses, subject to Commission approval, listed in the development text. These include more intense retail uses and some light industrial uses. Ms. Newcomb said the new construction will meet the 50-foot setback requirement along US 33. The existing building has a 35-foot setback along there and is legally non-conforming. The maximum lot coverage will be 70 percent of the site. Any future lighting will need to meet the Dublin Exterior Lighting Guidelines, but none is currently proposed. Ms. Newcomb said Phase 4 would be the total redevelopment of the site which requires a different material palette, including brick and stone. She said a total fire suppression system or construction of a two-hour firewall may be required by the expansion. It would require extension and connection to the City water system. New construction must meet Dublin's stormwater management requirements. A detention area is shown along US 33, but the calculations will be submitted when the addition is built. She said this is commonly referred to as a "down-zoning." This Planned Commerce District will eliminate a lot of the objectionable uses that are now permitted under the GI District. Ms. Newcomb said staff recommends approval of this rezoning, with seven conditions: 1) That the text be revised to incorporate comments in this staff report prior to the scheduling of the public hearing at City Council; Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -April 11, 2002 Page 4 2) That preliminary stormwater management calculations be submitted with the construction of the 5,280 square foot addition (Phase II development), subject to staff approval; 3) That the existing gravel lot be hard surfaced with the construction of the 5,280 square foot addition (Phase II development); 4) That the site be connected to the City water system with Phase II development; 5) That the applicant work with staff to provide screening of the east side of the parking lot and provide access management in the eastern parking lot as part of the development plan; 6) That all dumpsters and existing mechanical units be screened to Code; 7) That landscaping comply with Code, subject to staff approval. Jack Walters, architect representing the applicant, agreed with the conditions listed above, except Condition 3. He said the east elevation could not be seen except from Old Avery Road. It is practically hidden and only the building roof can be seen from new Avery Road. The east entrance was for truck delivery and needs a turnaround. Trucks would destroy any asphalt. Mindy Kundtz, owner, said they were so well hidden, that often they get calls inquiring about their location. She said the additional landscaping requested will really hide the building. Mr. Sprague said they appreciated Ms. Newcomb's explanation of the phasing and asked when the parking lot would be hard-surfaced. Ms. Newcomb said during Phase 2; 27 parking spaces would be added on the west and south side of the addition, and they would keep the existing gravel parking lot. She said in Phase 3, if the building is converted to a different permitted use, it would trigger 46 more parking spaces, totaling 73 spaces. When this existing use gets expanded (Phase 2), the existing parking lot be hard surfaced as required by Code. Mr. Zimmerman asked about removing the truck trailers and surrounding vegetation. Ms. Newcomb said the development text says there will be no outside storage of equipment. She said she expected that the trailers would be removed at the latest, when the building was expanded and parking would be added in that area. Mr. Sprague suggested that it be Condition 8. Mr. Messineo asked if the existing gravel lot is for truck loading, and for what size trucks. Mr. Walters said small semi-trucks deliver a few pieces of furniture at a time. The area is not for furniture storage or long term trailer parking. The trucks do not stay overnight. He said Phase 2 eliminates the two existing storage trailers, even though they are not mentioned in the text. Mr. Ritchie said that he found the turnaround problematic from a traffic access standpoint. It was very cumbersome. He asked if any creative solutions to that problem had been explored or had shared access with the concrete plant been explored. Mr. Walters said Jim McKitrick (co-owner) had talked to the concrete plant owner. Mr. Gerber asked what is being considered tonight. Ms. Newcomb said the PCD rezoning, or the composite plan and development text. The Commission is to make a recommendation on the rezoning to City Council. If Council approves it, the detailed plans, such as landscape, architecture, stormwater, grading and lighting plans, come in through the development plan. She said the gravel parking and access into the site might be reviewed later. The staff report requests looking at ways to improve circulation and provide greenspace between the existing area and the pavement. In a future Phase 3 or 4 they would look getting access off the private drive. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -April 11, 2002 Page 5 Mr. Gerber asked about timeframes for each phase. Ms. Newcomb said there are none. Mr. Sprague asked if there were plans currently to extend a sewer to this site. Ms. Newcomb said the Code now requires an owner to tie into the existing sanitary sewer if it is within 100 feet of the site. She said this site is farther away than that, and the City has no plans to extend it. Mr. Sprague asked if the leach field inspection indicated a problem, was it possible to seek an extension of that sewerline. Ms. Newcomb said if the Franklin County Board of Health and Ohio EPA could not approve an on-site system, it may have to be considered. Mr. Zimmerman suggested adding a Condition 8: That the text be amended to require the trailers and trees around them to be removed in Phase 2. Mr. Messineo said he agreed with the staff report that this was appropriate for this area. He said he would like the phasing not to be extended over 20 years, but limited to five to eight years. Ms. Kundtz said in 2003, the company will be 50 years old, and she would like to have this completed by then. Their access was taken when the freeway was constructed. Mr. Ritchie said he found this consistent with the zoning ordinance and the Community Plan. Mr. Zimmerman made the motion for approval To approve this rezoning application because it limits most objectionable industrial uses, corrects a number of non-conformities at the site, including paving the existing gravel lot, and provides an appropriate transitional land use with eight conditions: 1) That the text be revised to incorporate comments in this staff report prior to the scheduling of the public hearing at City Council; 2) That preliminary stormwater management calculations be submitted with the construction of the 5,280 square foot addition (Phase II development), subject to staff approval; 3) That the existing gravel lot be hard surfaced with the construction of the 5,280 square foot addition (Phase II development); 4) That the site be connected to the City water system with Phase II development; 5) That the applicant work with staff to provide screening of the east side of the parking lot and provide access management in the eastern parking lot as part of the development plan; 6) That all dumpsters and existing mechanical units be screened to Code; 7) That landscaping comply with Code, subject to staff approval; and 8) That the text be revised to include the removal of the truck trailers in Phase II. Mr. Walters agreed to these conditions. Mr. Messineo seconded the motion, and the vote was as follows: Mr. Ritchie, yes; Mr. Gerber, yes; Mr. Sprague, yes; Mr. Messineo, yes; and Mr. Zimmerman, yes. (Approved 5-0.) Mr. Sprague said the Commission appreciated Ms. Kundz's patience and wished her luck. _ \ ~ ~ ~8 ~ ~ ~ u ~ ••~••~~~•~•••••~!••56J_20V_15 _ I ~ a3~ ~ ~ ~==I \ ~ - ~ 1 ~ ~ a~~s ~a ~ ~ s ~ ~ I_ ~ s ~ r ~ a ~ ~ g~' ~I~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I q I m o ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I m2~ vi o ~ 5 ~ m N ~ I N 5~~ ~ • I ~ ~V ~ m iii3' ~ ~ o ~ n ~ : I ~ ~ I ~ ~ ~ ~ i .I ~ ~a 3 1~ I s a~ i ~a ~ e ~ ~ i 4 ~ I o ~ ~ ~ t ~ ~ ~ a-e i _ ~ ~65 § pfl I 54'14'E 144.82' ad J OLD AVERY ROAD ~ ~4~ qu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~g R 3AA_ a~~ 1>; ~.d~ H3 ei~ Z3~aC+ ~s~ 8g~~d~ ~4 s 5% gg~ a`ta` s°s as eaa ;e~s~ ~ m ~ J~ r A z g g W 9 N ~ &8 aa~~'~ aa~~ i~~ ~ i Z AvEaYROnD cp A¢ tbyAn a88 3gg ~a~'' 4 G~ 4 eV 88 ~ sBa Z o ~ $ $ ~6 HILLIARDS FURNITURE COMPANY JACK D.
