Re; Ordinance 30-16 - Amending Section 153,059 of the City of Dublin Codified
Ordinances (Zoning Code) to Amend the Bridge Street District Zoning
Regulations to Add "Religious or Public Assembly" as a Conditional�Size
Limited Use in the BSD - OfFce Residential District, (Case 16- 047ADMC)
(Second Reading/Public Hearing September 12 Council Meeting)
Summary
This is a request by the applicants for review and recommendation of approval to City Council
to amend a portion of the Zoning Code to allow "Religious or Public Assembly "' as a
conditianal1size limited use in the BSD- Of1:ICe Residential District, This addition will align the
use of "Religious or Public Assembly" with the rest of the BSD Zoning District, exclusive of the
Historic Residential District.
Background
The applicant approached Planning earlier this year with the intent to relocate from an existing
tenant space in Dublin Village Center to a new tenant space in an existing building along Tuller
Road. During these conversations, staff discovered that "Religious or Public Assembly" was not
included as a conditional use in the BSD OfFce Residential District The use is permitted as a
conditional use in all other BSD Zoning Districts, except BSD Historic Residential. Based on
research, it is not clear why the use was not included in this district, particularly given the
minimal differences between this and the other BSD Zoning Districts.
The applicant has therefore filed an application requesting an amendment to the Zoning Code to
provide far "Religious or Public Assembly" as a canditional�size limited use consistent with the
current provisions far 10 other BSD Zoning Districts, Code Amendments in the Bridge Street
District require a recommendation from the ART to the Planning and Zoning Commission, who will
make a recommendation to City Council, The Commission will simultaneously consider a
conditional use request fora 17,000-square -foot tenant space to be used as a church, ART is not
required to make a recommendation an the Conditional Use.
Summary of Madificatians
The proposed Zoning Code amendment is intended to allow a religious use continued operations
within the City of Dublin in the vicinity of their current location and will align the uses in the BSD -
ORDistrict with the other districts,

Communications
The Chair asked if there were any communications from Staff. Vince Papsidero confirmed the Commission
should have received their monthly Planning Report where he highlighted that the City contracted with
Greg Dale's firm to work with staff on the West Innovation District and the Metro Blazer Plan Update. He
said the City is intending to work with Clarion and Associates and Codametrics on all of the Bridge Street
Code Updates and initiating the signage piece this month followed by the Historic Dublin piece in
September.
Mr. Papsidero said an Open House will be held with Ohio University in late August and in September
there is an Open House planned for the public on the Metro Blazer Plan Update.
Chris Brown asked if there was anything particularly interesting on Metro Blazer. Mr. Papsidero said staff
is addressing issues that have been a problem with getting those buildings filled with tenants due to the
parking ratios and landscape issues. He said staff is questioning whether infill can be supported as a
community within that area. He said they are also considering retail and services to provide a small role
on the frontage.
Claudia Husak said the geography has been expanded out to Emerald Parkway to about twice the
amount of acreage since the offices were established so staff is considering how the area can be more
competitive.
Mr. Papsidero said updating the streetscape on Frantz Road will also be addressed.
Amy Salay indicated that when this was discussed at City Council, they wanted to be sensitive to the
existing Waterford, St. Andrew, and Edinborough neighborhoods.
Mr. Papsidero said there will be special outreach to the neighborhoods separate from the business
community and then everyone will be brought together.
Deborah Mitchell asked if the people in the office buildings want to see more food truck come into Metro
Park, if the City can play a role or should the offices reach out to the trucks specifically. Mr. Papsidero
said from a zoning standpoint, food trucks are not addressed as a use.
Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission
July 7, 2016 — Meeting Minutes
Page 4 of 4
Ms. Husak said if the food trucks are on private lots outside of the City right -of -way, they are not
regulated.
Mr. Papsidero said one of the broader questions is introducing some residents to some retail on some
other services along the corridor as walkable to the neighborhoods and the businesses. He said since the
Commission supports that, they are looking into the meaning, the character, and the uses we would
support, which should help the neighborhoods to look that much more attractive as a place to live.
Ms. Husak pointed out the new Planning Assistants with whom the Commission met at the B &C training
in June. She thanked the Commission for the nice comments received about that training and said follow -
up training is being considered for the fall of 2016.
Steve Stidhem said he would like to see them spend more time on certain aspects of zoning, the studies
going on, and the long range planning that he would hope would include renewable energy sources. He
offered to contribute to the long range planning conversation in some way.
Victoria Newell said she would not be in attendance for the Commission meeting on August 11"'. Ms.
Husak said she would not be present, either.
Cathy De Rosa encouraged the Commission to go on a hard -hat tour of Bridge Street. She reported that
she and Chris Brown attended the tour and it is well work the 1.5 hours it takes to complete because it
provides an entirely different perspective when one is standing on the fourth floor looking out over the
water. She indicated the river is going to become an incredible asset to the City in a way it has not been
able to before. She said you can see some of the building materials up close as they are being installed.
She said the details make a huge difference. She said it was really interesting to see and hear people
react to it both from the folks involved in the work and those seeing it for the first time; there were very
different perspectives.
Ms. Husak indicated the tours are conducted every Thursday at 4:30 pm.
Mr. Brown said one of the interesting views is when one is on Bridge Park, looking towards the hotel; the
curvature of the road is like a European drive, drawing you around the corner, creating a nice element at
the end of the street.
The Chair adjourned the meeting at 6:56 p.m
As approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on August 11, 2016.

Case Summary
Background
This is a request for review and recommendation of approval to City
Council to amend portions of the Zoning Code to allow "Religious or Public
Assembly" as a conditional /size limited use in the BSD -Office Residential
District. This addition will align the use of "Religious or Public Assembly"
with the rest of the BSD Zoning District, exclusive of the Historic
Residential District.
The applicant approached Planning earlier this year with the intent to
relocate from an existing tenant space in Dublin Village Center to a new
tenant space in an existing building along Tuller Road. During these
conversations, staff discovered that "Religious or Public Assembly" was not
included as a conditional use in the BSD Office Residential District. The use
is permitted as a conditional use in all other BSD Zoning Districts, except
BSD Historic Residential. Based on research, it is not clear why the use was
not included in this district, particularly given the minimal differences
between this and the other BSD Zoning Districts.
The case was introduced at ART on June 23, 2016 and recommended
approval on June 30, 3016.

Zoning Code Amendri
Code Section 153.232(B)(9) provides the Planning and Zoning Commission
with 'other powers and duties' which includes making recommendations to
City Council for amendments to the Zoning Code. Code Amendments in the
Bridge Street District require a recommendation from the ART to the Planning
and Zoning Commission, who will make a recommendation to City Council.
The Commission will simultaneously consider a conditional use request for a
17,000- square -foot tenant space to be used as a church. ART is not required
to make a recommendation on the Conditional Use. The Commission should
review the modifications, provide input, and vote on the changes. The
proposed amendment will be forwarded to City Council for its consideration.
The following sections summarize the major components and considerations
of each section of the zonina regulations Dr000sed for the amendment.
• Amending the Table of Permitted and Conditional Uses in the BSD Office
Residential District to add C/S (Conditional Use /Size Limited) to the
Religious or Public Assembly row in Table 153.059 -A for the Office
Residential District.
• No modifications are proposed to the applicable Use Specific Standard,
Section 153.059(C)(2)(g) which limits the size of the use to 100,0
square feet. This standard will apply to this use.
Zoning Code A�
The Zoning Code does not provide for specific review standards for Zoning
Code text amendments. However, there are certain considerations that are
appropriate when considering an application for these amendments. These
are provided below, along with relevant analysis. The Commission is not
limited to these considerations, and may choose to give each its own
weight as part of the deliberations for a recommendation to City Council.
Whether the amendment is consistent with the intent and purpose of this
Chapter and the Community Plan.
Guide line Met
All of the Zoning Districts within the Bridge Street District were created
based on a vision for a vibrant, walkable environment at the center of the
city, with a dynamic mix of land uses and housing types that enhances the
city's long -term sustainability while preserving and highlighting the natural
features that tie the Corridor together. The Vision also reinforces the
Dublin's long -term competitiveness and promotes fiscal health and
adaptability by creating new environments and amenities that can attract
and retain the next generation of employees and businesses.

amendment to the Zoning Code to allow "Religious or Public Assembly" as a
conditional /size limited use in the BSD - Office Residential District.

public assembly. The applicant is proposing to use three tenant spaces in
an existing office building for a church. The use - specific standard related
to churches limits their size to less 100,000 square feet. The proposal is
fora roximately 17,000 square feet.

be classrooms within the tenant space for group studies, which mainly
take place during evening hours.
Parking
