Grigsby, City Manager Date: June 23, 2011 Memo Initiated By: Dana McDaniel, Deputy City Manager /Director of Economic Development Re: Ordinance 35- 11(Amended) - Rezoning Approximately 21 Parcels Located along Emerald Parkway from LI, Limited Industrial District and RI, Restricted Industrial District to SO, Suburban Office and Institutional District and PUD, Planned Unit Development District (Coffman Park Plan) (COIC /Emerald Office Area Rezoning) (Case 10 -073Z) Update and History Ordinance 35 -11 was introduced to City Council at the June 13, 2011 meeting. Discussion for the proposed City- sponsored area rezoning focused on the two -acre parcel just west of the Post Road bridge over 1 -270. The proposed zoning, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission, would implement the Suburban Office and Institutional (SO) District to be consistent with the Future Land Use Map of the Community Plan. The property at 5375 Post Road has maintained Limited Industrial (LI) District zoning as far back as the adoption of the 1970 Zoning Code. A request fi•om the owner to rezone the property to the SO District in 1985 to construct a daycare facility was disapproved based on resident concerns. A proposal for office warehouse under the LI District was submitted by the owner in 1989 and retracted at the suggestion of City staff due to area planning for roads (Coffman Park/Emerald Parkway alignments) that was in progress. The 1997 Dublin Community Plan identified the general location for open space in conjunction with hotel /office development. The 2007 Dublin Community Plan identified similar uses considering the difficulty for visibility and access to the site. Development of the area assumed the consolidation of parcels to create a usable development footprint. The site was part of a City- sponsored area rezoning in 2003 to establish Dublin zoning on properties annexed from the township. At that time, the owner questioned the proposed Limited Industrial (LI) District designation, noting that the industrial zoning did not make sense and requested a zoning designation that would allow for office, hotel or other more appropriate uses (see attached minutes). During July and August 2010, Planning conducted studies to determine if the combination of the site and adjacent City -owned parcels could be leveraged to meet the needs of a potential user. The proposed use would include a combination of office and warehouse space with an overall office- Memo re. Ord. 35 -11 - COIC /Emerald Office Area Rezoning June 23, 2011 Page 2 of 3 like appearance. During September and October 2010, the potential user had contacted the property owner indicating that he was considering the site for development. The potential user determined that the location was not economically feasible for development, based upon topography and access issues as well as land cost. Since that time, the City has continued to look for office leads, but the owner's requested property value is not considered to be consistent with current market conditions. Rezoning and Building Permit Timeline Prior to commencement of the Technology Flex (TF) District Code in August 2010, the property owner requested that Planning evaluate an office /warehouse proposal (dated 7/19/10) to determine if it complied with LI zoning. Significant comments were provided regarding the lack of compliance with the Zoning Code and other plan elements. Public open houses were held during November and December of 2010 to discuss the TF Code. Mr. Polis attended meetings and provided input as to the direction of the new TF District code and information about the proposed area rezoning was sent to Mr. Polis on February 18, 2011. The letter indicated the intent to rezone the property to the SO District, consistent with the Future Land Use Map of the Community Plan. At the request of Mr. Polis, the same site plan was evaluated by Planning as to its adherence to both the draft TF District and the SO District regulations. Comments were provided to Mr. Polis by email on February 24, 2011. A meeting was also scheduled for March 2 at Mr. Polis' request to discuss the impacts of the proposed area rezoning. This City - sponsored rezoning application was heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 19. Meanwhile, a building permit application was filed for the office /warehouse development (see attached plans). Building permit reviews include a required 30 -day response with a targeted review time of two weeks: April 21 - An incomplete building permit application was submitted, but a complete review was done to provide comments. May 6 - A disapproval letter was sent due to the significant list of outstanding issues (I5 -day turnaround). May 31 - A resubmission was made that included new site information, but did not respond to any of the provided comments in the correction letter. Plans included information from two separate engineering firms that did not coordinate. A full review was completed of the incomplete submission. June 6 - The application was disapproved by Building, Fire, Landscape /Zoning and Engineering and comments were provided for correction (6 -day turnaround). June 14 - A new submission was made to respond to the disapproval. June 24 - A meeting has been set with property owner to address pending issues relating to the permit application (10 -day turnaround). Vesting of Rights Throughout the area rezoning process, Planning has consistently verified for the property owner and his legal counsel the opportunity to obtain building permits under the existing LI District. Mr. Memo re. Ord. 35 -11 - COIC /Emerald Office Area Rezoning June 23, 2011 Page 3 of 3 Polis will continue to have the ability to pursue development under the current zoning until such time as the proposed area rezoning becomes effective. A memo from legal counsel is attached that outlines the property owner's rights and ability to be vested under the existing zoning. Recommendation The proposed area rezoning is consistent with the Community Plan Future Land Use Map, the Coffman Park Area Plan, and the Central Ohio Innovation Center business district concept. The proposed rezoning provides for more appropriate uses along the highly visible frontage of I -270, will implement the development character established by Delta Energy, and will address many non - compliant uses along Commerce Parkway. Staff recommends City Council approval of Ordinance 35- 11(Amended) as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. SZD MEMORANDUM To Dublin City Council Marsha Grigsby, City Manager From Stephen Smith, Law Director Jennifer Readler, Assistant Law Director Re: Vesting of Rights and Estoppel claims for Pre - existing Non - conforming Uses Date: June 21, 2011 ISSUES 1. At what particular point in time, as established by Oho law, does a landowner gain the right to use land for a specific purpose? Stated another way, when does a landowner have a 'bested right' to use property for a pre - existing non - conforming use? 2. Under what conditions will an Ohio court apply the doctrine of estoppel to prevent the city from enforcing a newly adopted ordinance? 1. The determination of whether there is a pre - existing non - conforming use is an inquiry that is heavily fact -based and that is determined on a case by case basis. Under Dublin Code §153, the factual inquiry of whether a non - conforming use exists is decided by the Board of Zoning Appeals. Several Oho Court of Appeals opinions have ruled that vesfing occurs at the point in time where the landowner files an application for a building permit. However, the Supreme Court of Ohio has ruled that contemplation by the landowner of potential uses and even spending money on preliminary work is not necessarily sufficient to create apre - existing use. 2. Estoppel occurs when the government unfairly changes the rules on a developer in a specific situation where the developer has relied on the government and spent money for construction as a result. For this doctrine to apply, the landowner must prove that he relied on representations made by the government. (X2267121 j' LEGAL ANALYSIS Vesting of Pre - existing Non - conforming Use Article I, Section 16 of the Ohio Constitution recognizes the right to continue a given use of real property if such use is already in existence at the time of the enactment of a land use regulation forbidding or restricting the land use in question. Dublin v. Finkes, 83 Ohio App. 3d 687, 690 (10' Dist. 1992)(emphasis added). Similarly, Ohio Revised Code §713.15 states that retroactive zoning ordinances are prohibited as to a dwelling, building, or structure and of any land or premises that were existing and lawful at the time of the enactment of the zoning ordinance. Ohio Rev. Code Ann. §713.15 (emphasis added). Dublin Code §153.002 defines a non - conforming use as "[a] legal use of a building and /or of land that antedates the adoption of the zoning ordinance and does not conform to the regulations for the zoning district in which it is located." According to Dublin Code §153.004(C), "[w]hether a non - conforming use exists shall be a question of fact and shall be decided by the Board of Zoning Appeals after public notice and hearing and in accordance with the rules of the Board. It is the intent of this chapter to permit these non - conforming situations to continue until they are removed, but not to encourage their continued use or expansion, except [in limited circumstances as detailed in this section]." In order for a landowner to have a valid non - conforming use, the use must have been in existence prior to the enactment of the prohibitory land use regulation. See Dublin v. Finkes, 83 Ohio App. 3d 687, 615 N.E.2d 690, 693 (10 Dist. 1992). The amended zoning provisions will control unless the vested right accrued under the prior law. Kure v. North Royalton, 34 Ohio App. 3d 227(1986); See also Oakwood v. Clark Oil & Refining Corp., 33 Ohio App. 3d 180 (1986)(holding that a village could not create a new zoning regulation or condition which would prevent a landowner from continuing lawful activities that began before the village changed its zoning code.). The burden is upon the landowner to show the establishment of the use prior to the enactment of the zoning ordinance making such use non - conforming. See Reilly v. Conti, 93 Ohio App. 188, 112 N.E.2d 558 (1952). In Zaremba Development Co. v. Fairview Park, the court held that a pre- existing use vests at the point in time where the property owner filed for a building permit. 84 Ohio App. 3d 174 (8 Dist. 1992)(citing Gibson v. Oberlin, 171 Ohio St. 1 (1960)(holding that a building permit for a twelve unit apartment building could not be denied because of the pending enactment of a zoning ordinance that would make the anticipated use unlawful)). Before an application for a use of premises is filed, a government is free to change the applicable regulation, within limits, and such changes will be held valid. See State ex. rel. Mar -Well, Inc. v. Dodge, 113 Ohio App. 118 (1960). In Zaremba Development, the court held: [W]here a property owner has complied with all the legislative requirements for the procurement of a building permit and his proposed structure falls within the use classification of the area in which he proposed to build it, he has a right to such permit, and there is a duty on the part of the officer charged therewith to issue it. Subsequent legislation enacted pending applicant's attempted enforcement of such right through administrative or legal channels cannot deprive him of the right. The right became vested, under the law applicable thereto, upon the filing of the application for the permit. Id. at 176. Although applying for a building permit before a new zoning ordinance is passed will establish a pre- existing use, contemplation and even spending of money on preliminary work is not sufficient on its own. Windsor v. Lane Dev. Co., 109 Ohio App. 131 (Franklin 1958). This will be true even when utilities have been installed or in some instances when a plat has been approved and recorded. State ex. rel. Martin Land Dev. Co. v. Clepper, 113 Ohio App. 375 (1961); Mar -Well, Inc. v. Dodge, 113 Ohio App. 118 (1960); But see Negin v. City ofMentor, 69 Ohio St. 2d 492 (1982)(holding that in some instances, recorded plat maps will establish a pre- existing non - conforming use). Estoppel Estoppel raises the question of whether it is fair for government to change the rules on a developer in a specific situation where the developer has relied on the government and spent money for construction as a result. Ohio Planning and Zoning Law 277 (200 Edition). According to Ohio Planning and Zoning Law, page 278: [I]f a developer has invested substantial effort and money in the project and begins construction, relying in good faith on some act or omission by the local government, the court may well apply the doctrine of estoppel to prevent the government from stopping the development through a change of regulation. It should be emphasized that there are no mathematical precise points at which the doctrine of estoppel is invoked. It is after all, a matter of fairness. The significance of the amount of work that has been performed and the level of reliance on the government are factual inquires which are decided by the court. In Smith v. Juillerat, 161 Ohio St. 424 (1954), the court adopted the estoppel approach. In Smith, a coal company had a lease to mine coal, and had done some preliminary drilling work. The court held that "a right does not exist where no non - conforming use has been made of property, even though such use is contemplated, and money has been expended in preliminary work to that end." Id. at 431. Similarly, in Torok v. Jones, 5 Ohio St. 31 (1983), the court held that there had not been a significant change in position by the landowner that had poured concrete footers. The concrete footers would have accounted for only one tenth of one percent of the final construction project. Id. Conversely, in Jackson Township Board of Trustees v. Donrey Outdoor Advertising Co., the court held that the construction of a $5,750 cement pipe did establish a pre- existing use in a billboard project. 1999 WL 731376 (10 Dist. 1999). Estoppel claims are decided according to whether reliance is established based on the facts of each case. CONCLUSION The doctrines of vesting and estoppel are decided on a case -by -case basis, and are fact specific. Ohio courts may use language of both doctrines, but generally adhere to the doctrine of vested rights. Ohio Planning and Zoning Law 278. There are few bright line rules for either of these doctrines, and the issue of whether there is a pre- existing non - conforming use will ultimately be decided based upon the facts. Id. at 274.

While we greatly appreciate your efforts to provide accurate and detailed construction drawings, the plan review staff has determined the proposed plans do not currently conform to all applicable city codes and/or state building and fire regulations. The outcome of the staff review by individual category is as follows: Ohio Building Code —Disapproval Fire Code — Disapproval Landscape/Zoning Code — Disapproval Site Engineering Standards — Disapproval The submitted civil and structural plans contain discrepancies and the structural plans do not address the previous review comments made by our Commercial Plans examiner, Ray Harpham, A.I.A. Revisions to the proposed landscape plan will also be required. Until these issues are resolved, plans for a building permit cannot be approved. As you know, we are currently working with you and your design team to set a meeting date and time where all parties can meet and review the plans. The purpose of the meeting is to identify and discuss the apparent differences in the plans and to review the required standards for Engineering, Building, and Zoning Code compliance. Based on past experience, we have found that a meeting of this type helps to streamline and expedite the plan revision process. We greatly appreciate your cooperation and look forward to meeting with you to go over the most recently received plans and to discuss what is needed for the plans to ultimately be approved for a building permit. Please let me know if I can assist in arranging the meeting date and time. Our department's goal is to help you to obtain approval for your project and to move forward with construction as soon as possible.

Clarke, Planning Director Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — September 18, 2003 Page 4 Mr. Zimmerman made the motion to approve this rezoning application because it will apply an appropriate Dublin zone, will provide for effective development administration, will maintain the established development pattern, and is consistent with the Community Plan. Mr. Messineo seconded, and the vote was: Mr. Ritchie, yes; Mr. Gerber, yes; Ms. Boring, yes; Mr. Sprague, yes; Mr. Saneholtz, yes; Mr. Messineo, yes; and Mr. Zimmerman, yes. (Approved 7 -0.) 6. Area Rezoning 03 -073Z — Post Road/Avery Road to I -270 Anne Wanner said these 112 acres involve the properties along Post Road, including 12 homes. Several parcels are now part of the expanded Coffman Park. This proposal is to establish the R- 1, Restricted Suburban Residential District for areas to the north of Post Road and LI, Limited Industrial District to the south consistent with the historical zoning map. Ms. Wanner said six people attended the informational meeting. This case includes the Dublin Justice Center, some farmland, and other vacant land. She said staff recommends approval. Joe Polis, said F, J & S Investments owns 5375 Post Road, and the LI allowable uses are totally contrary to what Dublin really wants. For over ten years, staff has been pushing for park, offices, and hotels. They bought this in 1986 for a proposed KinderCare which was disapproved. In 1989, they applied for a building. permit to build an office /warehouse, but Pat Bowman and Bobbie Clarke asked them not to pursue it. Staffs reason was that the City had plans for a park and a new City office complex in the area, and the proposed office /warehouse was not compatible. Mr. Polis said they acquiesced and withdrew the permits. In 1986, Dublin notified them that it was considering rezoning for several Post Road properties to PLOR, Planned Laboratory, Office, and Research District. Dublin approved the Perimeter Mall project in 1988, and that plan shows their site as a potential hotel. Mr. Polis said attorney Harrison Smith said then, and it is still true, that the existing zoning, which was a combination of LI and GI, is inappropriate. He presented some written documentation. In 1997, Children's Hospital was interested in this site, but they built on Venture Drive because the staff put them off. In 2000, Office Suites Plus wanted to build an office building, and staff again discouraged them. Later, the staff wrote them a letter saying that office and hotel were appropriate. He referred to the Dublin Community Plan and the Civic Center area plan, none of which recommend the uses permitted in LI. Mr. Polis said the LI zone, given everything that has happened, did not make sense. Based upon prior Dublin input, he thought 99 percent of the LI permitted uses would be discouraged. The conditional uses provide for even more unwanted uses. In his opinion, enacting the proposed LI district would do nothing for the property, the owner, the area, or the City. Proper uses would be office, hotel, community commercial, institutional, laboratory, or research. He said that was the only usable zoning. Ms. Clarke said Mr. Polis' comments reflect her recollection of these many events. The staff believes that LI uses "stink," but the goal here is to establish clear Dublin zoning, not to take away existing property rights. Dublin's zoning map has showed this property as LI for 20 years, but staff cannot find an ordinance that conveyed LI zoning. This is also true for all "area rezoning" cases. The staff was told to methodically establish Dublin zoning as separate from township or county zoning. She said staff would be happy to work with Mr. Polis to zone the parcel as SO, or an appropriate classification. That would be preferable, but that is not today's assignment. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — September 18, 2003 Page 5 Mr. Gerber said if Mr. Polis wanted to change the zoning, he would have to file a rezoning application. Ms. Clarke agreed. Mr. Banchefsky said by ordinance, that upon annexation, Dublin is supposed to establish appropriate zoning. While everybody agrees that LI is inappropriate, that is how this property has always been shown. This project was undertaken because of municipal court decision. The Law Director requested staff to check the entire City to make sure that it had established a Dublin zoning category on every parcel. This is a housekeeping measure. Mr. Sprague said since so much time has elapsed and so many changes have taken place, it might be argued that it is now time for Dublin to establish a more appropriate zone. Perhaps the LI zone at one time made sense, but that does not reflect current and likely future realities. Mr. Banchefsky responded that typically, a landowner requests rezoning to a planned district. He said a City- sponsored rezoning could not propose a planned district, with no text, etc. City Council has the ability to apply a straight zoning district, if it chooses. Mr. Sprague asked if this owner undertook a more appropriate rezoning, would the Commission waive the application fee. Ms. Clarke said City Council decides fee waivers, but a recommendation for approval could be forwarded. Another option might be another City - sponsored rezoning at the request of the Commission. Ms. Boring asked for more information on the 1986 zoning appeal cited. Ms. Clarke said a subcommittee drafted a new district, the POLR District, to be used here. It caused an uproar and did not go forward. Later, the Perimeter PCD rezoning (for the Ruscilli, Old Post Properties, Metatec and McKitrick parcels) down -zoned the western two- thirds of this industrial area. It also zoned residential uses close to Avery - Muirfield Drive. These pieces are the remnants. Ms. Boring said she appreciated the explanation. However, if this gets official LI zoning, what will restrict a U- Store -It? Ms. Clarke said for practical purposes, it has had LI zoning for many years. It was that way on the zoning map since before she was hired. She said the development standards are very difficult on a small parcel such as this. There was some discussion of the planned district rezoning process in Dublin. Mr. Gerber asked why Dublin had rejected Mr. Polis' proposals. Ms. Clarke responded that two daycare centers' rezoning applications had been defeated in 1984 or 1985, shortly before she was hired. She thought there had been resident opposition. Another complication arose from the traffic study done for the Community Plan. It shows a fuzzy dashed line around the interchange, indicating a future interchange improvement. She said the I- 270/US 33 interchange is expected to break down in the future; it needs added capacity. One way to add capacity is to build grade - separated ramps, but it might end up looking like a freeway in Los Angeles. That image was too hard for Dublin to accept in the center of town during the Community Plan, and the result was a dashed line around the interchange. Ms. Clarke did not know what the long -term answer was. Ms. Clarke said this one -acre lot is not a commercial -sized piece, and it has difficult access due to the proximity of the Post Road bridge over I -270. Even with these difficulties, she did not Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — September 18, 2003 Page 6 think it would become a park without government intervention. There are several parcels that could be joined for a development, perhaps an office or hotel. Mr. Gerber said this was a housekeeping chore, and the site has been treated as LI for many years. This application merely fixes that problem. He wanted to assure that Mr. Polis had the use of his property for development. In fairness, he wondered if this should be tabled to allow the staff and Mr. Polis to work through the issues. Mr. Sprague asked if it was possible to exclude one parcel from the application this evening. Ms. Clarke and Ms. Wanner agreed any parcel could be eliminated. Ms. Boring appreciated the history, but anything other than LI will have a long process and much discussion associated with it. It has been LI on the books for many years. Mr. Sprague said adopting the LI, formalizes the "pickle factory" potential, and another solution is needed. Ms. Boring said the other solution would be a PUD, natural materials, brick, etc. Mr. Banchefsky said he discussed a similar situation with a member of City Council about a different parcel. That property owner also wanted "usable" zoning, not what was shown in the area rezoning. He cautioned that excluding one parcel may lead to many others. Mr. Messineo said this request did not seem to be fully thought out. Mr. Polis said they would very much like to work with staff to come up with a workable rezoning. He and the abutting owners want to cooperate to come up with something workable. He understands what the current zoning is, but they keep running into brick walls. He said they understand that the Commission is not interested in many of the LI uses. For many of the uses, their site is too small, even in conjunction with the abutting properties. Ms. Boring said R, Rural or R -1, Restricted Suburban Residential District, would be acceptable to her. She did not want to set up false expectations, because this site will need to go through the full zoning process. The Dublin zoning process is very comprehensive. Mr. Polis understood. He said they have no perspective use. Their last use was for a two -story office building on their site, the McKitrick site, and the Continental Real Estate site. They would like the proper zoning for an office or hotel use, then they could attempt to find a use. Mr. Ritchie did not see what would be gained if this were tabled or the parcel excluded. If the staff cannot devise another district, this area rezoning should be approved. Ms. Clarke feared that any other acceptable zone might be interpreted by the owner as a taking. Both R -1 and R are acceptable, but those would not solve the landowner's problem in trying to develop the land. In response to a question from Mr. Saneholtz, Ms. Clarke said staff started with the zoning map that had been in use for many years. Anne Wanner then spent hundreds of hours meticulously tracking every legal description in every rezoning ordinance approved by Dublin's Village Council or City Council. The ordinances were all mapped, and the remaining parcels have been compiled geographically into these area- rezoning applications. The area rezonings include old Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes — September 18, 2003 Page 7 subdivisions, scattered homes, City -owned land, churches, schools, and some parcels such as this with non - residential zoning on the map. These parcels have no zoning paper trail. Mr. Gerber asked if the landowner can make an appointment in the Planning Division to review their property for future development. Ms. Clarke said staff does that a dozen times a week. She said the best guidance available is given by City Council, and that is largely consolidated in the Community Plan. The staff provides whatever background and examples are available. Ms. Clarke said she had consulted with Mr. Hammersmith during the meeting about access restrictions that apply to this site. She said they believe there are three or four parcels fronting on this section of Post Road that will need to use one combined curbcut. There needed to be coordination among the three or four property owners for access. Mr. Polis said that easement/access is in place for those three properties, and it was on his site. Mr. Gerber agreed these were tough cases. He said this is a housekeeping measure, and the land has been treated as industrial for many years. He did not think this property owner would find the R or R -1 Districts to be acceptable. He said it was unlikely this site will stay industrial forever. Mr. Polis agreed and said he wanted some type of zone with a proper use for the site. He said he understood the need for the housekeeping measure, but he wanted it done right. Mr. Saneholtz proposed tabling this so the staff could work with Mr. Polis. Ms. Wanner said the staff has promised to complete these area rezonings this year if at all possible. Ms. Boring said this should go forward. She recounted the problems Dublin encountered in putting SO zoning at the corner of Post Road and Avery- Muirfield Drive. She sympathized with Mr. Polis, but she thought he needed to go through the usual zoning process to get his land zoned for appropriate development. This is an important area, as defined by the Community Plan. She appreciated Mr. Polis updating her. Since it is housekeeping, she was ready to vote. Mr. Messineo agreed. He did not want to assume the responsibility of a perceived taking. Mr. Sprague said from an administrative perspective, this should be handled tonight. There should be an understanding that staff needs to work with Mr. Polis. Mr. Zimmerman agreed. Mr. Ritchie supported this and thought they should move forward. Mr. Gerber suggested a concept plan or an informal review to get Commission feedback. He encouraged Mr. Polis to talk with the staff about his ideas. Mr. Ritchie made the motion to approve this area rezoning because it will apply an appropriate Dublin zone, will provide for effective development administration, will maintain the established development pattern, and is consistent with the Community Plan. Mr. Messineo seconded, and the vote was as follows: Mr. Saneholtz, yes; Mr. Sprague, yes; Mr. Zimmerman, yes; Ms. Boring, yes; Mr. Gerber, yes; Mr. Messineo, yes; and Mr. Ritchie, yes. (Approved 7 -0.) Mr. Gerber asked Mr. Polis to keep the Commission apprised. Mr. Polis thanked the Commission. Mr. Gerber thanked Ms. Wanner for her hard work on these area rezonings and good staff report.

The regularly scheduled meeting of the Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order by the Chairman, Mr. Gerald Macklin, at 7:30 P.M. on Tuesday, October 8, 1985. Members present were: Mr. Berlin, Mrs. Headlee, Mr. Jezerinac, Mr. Macklin, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Reiner. Mr. Callahan was absent. Mr. Mitchell Banchefsky of the Law Director's Office was present as were: Mr. Bowman, Mr. Warner, and Mr. Darragh of the Village Staff. Mrs. Headlee made a motion to approve the minutes of the September 4, 1985 meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. The vote was 6 -0 in favor. Mr. Reiner moved to approve the minutes of the September 23, 1985 special meeting. Mr. Miller seconded the motion.

Rezoning Application Z85 -014 - Post and Coffman Roads A 1.84 acre tract located on the south side of Post Road immediately east of the intersection of Coffman Road and Post Road. Change of zoning from LI to SO with the proposed use being a day care center. Mr. Reiner moved to remove the application from the table. Mrs. Headlee seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. Mr. Bowman said that the plan had been reviewed with the applicant and that the day care center would be built 50' back from the existing right -of -way; the existing right -of -way being 115'. He noted that if Coffman Road were extended it would not affect the proposed KinderCare Center. He noted that if the rezoning requested were approved the applicant would need to come back before the Commission with a conditional use application for review. That review would involve site plan review, architectural review, landscape plan review, and a pupil to land area ratio. Minutes of Meeting Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission October 8, 1985 Page Two Mr. Fred Simon, a general partner, and Mr. Jim Foley representing Kinder Care were present at the meeting. Mr. Simon made the following points: 1. Have met all the requirements of the Dublin Code. 2. Have more than adequate parking and play area. 3. There are over 1000 such facilities in the United States and Canada; the nearest facility being on Sawbury. 4. Ready to proceed if can obtain approval of the Commission and the Dublin Village Council. 5. Realize there are concerns, but are willing to comply with all wishes and requests of members of the Commission and Village Council. Mr. Bowman said that a decision would be required from the Commission on land use. He also noted that as a part of the Suburban Office District the applicant would be required to come back to the Commission with a site plan and a landscape plan. Mr. Bowman said that along with the architectural detail, the key to any development on that parcel is to "do it well ". Mr. Simon said that he has agreed to build a more "sedate— type" building, doing away with the red bell tower and use earth tones. Mrs. Headlee questioned the compatibility of putting an SO zoning between two LI zonings. Mr. Bowman said that his preference for this property as well as the Duke property would be for office type uses Responding to a question from Mr. Reiner, Mr. Bowman said that the applicant would be required to come back to the Commission with a plan for the conditional use. He also said that he felt that the issue was the appropriateness of the use (a day care center). Mr. Jezerinac said that he thought that the SO was an appropriate zoning but that he thought that it would be more appropriate to wait for the study of the area to be completed before making any decisions. Mr. Bowman told Mr. Jezerinac that Post Road off of the bridge would probably be extended straight west, and that Coffman Road would probably not be extended in essence creating a new Post Road. Mr. Miller noted that during discussions regarding the rezoning of the McKitrick property menetion was made of the possibility of four laning Coffman Road and the possibility of extending the same, hopefully, to S.R. 161. Additional discussion ensued regarding the possible placement of roads, through the tract, in front of the tract, etc. Mr. Reiner moved to disapprove the rezoning application Z85 -014. Mr. Jezerinac seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Mr. Berlin, no; Mrs. Headlee, yes; Mr. Jezerinac, yes; Mr. Macklin, yes; Mr. Miller, yes; and Mr. Reiner, yes. c5i3 6665 Coffman Road Dublin, Ohio 43017 STAFF REPORT DUBLIN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION October 8, 1985 I. Rezoning Z85 -014 — Post and Coffman Roads A. The subject 1.84 acie lot is located on the south side of Post Road just east of the Post Road and Coffman Road intersection. The lot is presently improved with a white single family farmhouse and barn. This case was tabled at the last meeting. B. The lot has been purchased by the Kindercare Orgar.zation for a day care center. Staff has recommended that the applicants apply for the SO, Suburban Office and Institutional District. A day care is a conditional use within the SO District. The Commission must consider first, the appropriateness of the SO land uses, then recommend on the appropriateness of the day care use. The Commission should recommend on both issues so the applicant can evaluate his position. C. The Commission expressed concern about the development as it may interfere with a reconstructed Post /Coffman /Coffman extended intersection. Staff believes that the site is large enough to accommodate the day care and the road improvements. The traffic study details are still being developed. At the time of condition use site plan review, the Commission should be shown how the site is to be developed without roadway interference. D. Staff's land use preference on this site is for an office use. Offices are not permitted uses of the LI District now in force on the subject site. Staff supports the day care use as it is preferable to a wide range of limited industrial uses that are now permitted uses on the site. The main consideration in determining the appropriateness of the day care is how it will affect future Post Road development and how future Post Road development may affect the day care center. If the adjacent large parcel to the west of the subject site was developed, it would be much easier to determine the appropriateness of the day care. If the Commission recommends for the day care use, the conditional use review by the Commission would insure that the site is developed properly to be compatible with future adjacent uses. This review should also include architectural review of the building, mounding and screening along the sides of the development and a pupil to land area ratio. % "r ( *ft 4W r � VILLACE OF DUBLIN 6665 Coffman Road Dubl in, Ohio 43017 pLANNIW AND ZONING COMMISSION /RECORD Of ACTION NESTING DATE: September 4, 1985 CAS22 Rezoning Application Z85 -015 - Post and Avery Roads COMISSION ACTIOUt TABLED FOR ONE MONTH Approved Disapproved Approved with Condltioa(s) CONDITION(s) and /or AGREE" M(s) YOTR: 2nd Berlin Ye _ JeLerznae Caliabas Yes !Macklin 1st Neadlee Yes _ llillec Yes Reiner Z I A� -4 —A. �- Minutes of Meeting Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission September 4, 1985 Page Nine Mr. Macklin expressed a concern with regard to development of the site and the future proposed road changes. Mr. Bowman said that it was determined with a preliminary analysis that the proposed changes would have no effect on the development of the site. He also said that the parking area will be 50' back from the existing right -of -way. Additional discussion followed regarding proposed road changes, possible configurations of said roads, and the effect on this property. Mrs. Headlee said that she is in the process of developing standards for the Village of Dublin with regard to day cares, said standards being more strict than state standards; e.g., larger play areas, spaces between cribs, etc. Mrs. Headlee moved to table the request for one month for further study with regard to the road and the proposed study for the entire area. Mr. Berlin seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor. 8. Rezoning Application Z85 -015 - Post and Avery Roads Mr. Bowman said that this is a 2.041 acre site located on the northeast corner of Avery Road and Post Road. There are existing single family homes on both the north and east sides of the site. The applicants propose to construct a 5,000 sq. ft. day care center on the site. He said that staff does support the day care use as a conditional use of the R, Rural District. Staff did recommend that the site be limited to one (1) curb cut off of Post Road and that 20' of additional right -of -way be dedicated on Avery Road, and that the parking lot be reworked. Mr. Bowman said that staff would prefer access off of Post Road and not Muirfield Drive. Mrs. Headlee mentioned the petition submitted by residents of Post Road who requested that Commission members consider carefully any action that might damage the property values of their homes and the possibility that one exception may lead to others and that the quality and "feel" of the entire neighborhood will be changed. Mr. Bowman commented that the applicant still would need to come in to the Commission for a conditional use application. Mr. Harrison Smith, Jr. was present representing the applicant, the Dublin Counseling Center. sar Wn A number of residents of Post Road expressed 1. "Don't want to get something started." 2. Object to other than residential. 3. Increase in traffic. 4. Noise from playground site. 5. Parking not adequate or proper. 6. No way to turn around to get out of the the following concerns: site. Minutes of Meeting Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission September 4, 1985 Page Ten The lot is vacant and a day care center could be a transitional use. Mr. Smith requested that the Commission table the request. Mrs. Headlee moved to table the request for one month. Mr. Berlin seconded the motion. The vote was 6-0 in favor.

Rezoning Application Z85 -014 - Post and Coffman Roada A. The subject 1.84 acre lot is located on the south side of Post Road just east of the Post Road and Coffman Road intersection. The lot is presently improved with a white single family farmhouse and garage. B. The lot has been purchased by the Rindercare organization for a day care use. Staff made comments on a preliminary site plan that was reviewed a few weeks ago. Efforts are being made by the applicant to have a revised preliminary plan before the meeting. From a site perspective, the 1.8 acres appears to be a very adequate area to accommodate the proposed use. To insure that the development will not interfere with a reconstruction of the Post /Coffman /Coffman extended intersection, the applicant is agreeable to keeping both the build- ing and parking lot behind a 50' setback from Post Road. C. Staff has recommended that the applicants apply for the SO, Suburban Office and Institutional District. A day care center is a conditional use within the SO District. The Commission must consider first, appropriateness of the SO land uses, then recommend on the appropriate- ness of the day care use. The Commission should recommend on both issues so the applicant can evaluate his position. D. Staff's land use preference on this site is for an office use. Offices are not permitted uses of the LI District now in force on the subject site. Staff supports the day care use as it is preferable to a wide range of limited industrial uses that are now permitted uses on the site.

If the Commission recommends for the day care use, the conditional use review by the Commission would insure that the site is developed properly to be compatible with future adjacent uses. This review should also inclu architectural review of the building.

Grigsby, City Manager Date: June 9, 2011 Memo Initiated By: Dana McDaniel, Deputy City Manager /Director of Economic Development Re: Ordinance 35 -11 - Rezoning Approximately 21 Parcels Located along Emerald Parkway from R -1, Restricted Suburban Residential District, LI, Limited Industrial District and RI, Restricted Industrial District to SO, Suburban Office and Institutional District and PUD, Planned Unit Development District (Coffman Park Plan) (COIC Emerald Office Area Rezoning) (Case 10 -073Z) Summary Ordinance 35 -11 proposes the rezoning of 21 parcels in the general area of Emerald Parkway to appropriate zoning categories that coordinate with the Future Land Use Map and the business district concept for the Central Ohio Innovation Corridor (COIC). Municipal properties in the area would receive PUD zoning and be incorporated as part of the Coffman Park development text. General master planning for these park expansion areas south of the South Fork Indian Run are underway and upon completion will serve as the preliminary development plan. The development text for Coffman Park has been revised to include general language for the expansion land and Justice Center site. Properties along Emerald Parkway are being rezoned to SO, Suburban Office and Institutional District, consistent with the highly visible office character established by Delta Energy. The recommended zoning is consistent with the Coffman Park Area Plan contained within the Community Plan, as well as the business neighborhood concept for the Central Ohio Innovation Corridor. The change in zoning for offices on the west side of Commerce Parkway will bring many existing uses into compliance with the Code. Review by the Planning and Zoning Commission Proposed zoning changes were reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 19, 2011, and received a positive recommendation to City Council. Public input included questions about the legal standing for a proposed office /warehouse development at 5375 Post Road between Emerald Parkway and I -270. A recent permit request was denied due to building code and engineering issues. The property owner may continue to resubmit for approval under the current LI, Limited Industrial Zoning, until such time as this proposed ordinance takes effect. Recommendation Staff recommends Council approval of Ordinance 35 -11 at the second reading/public hearing at the June 27 Council meeting. RECORD OF ORDINANCES Blank, Inc.

CITY OF DUBLIN Parks and Recreation Department 6665 Coffman Road Dublin, Ohio 43017 Prepared by: MYERS SCHMALENBERGER Landscape Architects and Land Planners 523 North Park Street Columbus, Ohio 43215 Updates: Nyrop Property Element - November 2007 (Ordinance 91 -07) Perimeter Drive Expansion Element - June 2011 (Ordinance 35 -11) Master Plan Purpose The purpose of this Master Plan is to insure that the existing and future municipal facilities and open space in Coffman Park are integrated into the surrounding planned development neighborhoods. Since there is no specific zoning district that is directly applicable to municipal facilities or parks and open space, the City has applied to rezone the existing and future facilities to the PUD, Planned Unit Development District. In addition to furnishing the information required by Chapter 1181.09, the City will develop a plan for Coffman Park that will provide the entire City with the needed park recreational opportunities, plan some expansion of the existing municipal building, maintain the historic setting of Coffman Historical Homestead and enhance the new athletic open space features already present within Coffman Park. All of this must be accomplished within the context of the existing and future land uses surrounding the site. Particular attention must be paid to establishing a compatible relationship between the residential neighborhoods and the more active uses of the park. Coffman Park is strategically located as it buffers the residences to the north from the future industrial or commercial property south of Post Road. In addition, Coffman Park i� located at the apex of two important historical roadways. As a high volume of traffic passes the park on a daily basis, the park and the new facilities provide the City with an opportunity to establish a community landmark that will serve as the activity center of the City. Consistent with the provisions of the Planned Unit Development District standards, this Master Plan will identify the range of permitted uses that may be established in the park and establish the proper relationship between buildings and the land. The Plan will also provide development standards that will permit the park to be developed in an orderly, coordinated and comprehensive manner. Finally, the Plan will establish the supporting landscape and buffer standards that will enhance the natural quality and beauty of the land as well as provide amenity and privacy between uses. Regional and Neighborhood Context Coffman Park is located at the entry to the largest and most developed residential area of the city. State Route 161 from Post Road to Coffman Road is a very heavily traveled route in and out of the northwest area of Dublin. The City's Thoroughfare Plan attempts to relieve the high traffic volumes at the intersection of Post and Coffman Roads by extending Coffman south of Post Road and over US 33 and down to the 1 -270 interchange at Tuttle Road. Perimeter Drive is planned to be extended east to Coffman Road. This will create a new east -west arterial road between Coffman Road and Avery Road. The plan also indicates the desirability of a new road between Coffman Road and Dublin Road. All of these road plans are likely to increase the vehicular accessibility of Coffman Park, thus making it much more the center of the community. The extension and widening of these roads will have a visual impact on the existing area as it will diminish some of the rural quality that is presently enjoyed. Post Road has served as the dividing line between industrial and commercial land associated with US 33 on the south and residential property on the north. The Dublin Community Plan indicates that nearly two - thirds of Dublin's projected residential population will lie north of Post Road and west of the Scioto River. Dublin High School is located just north of Coffman Park and Tara Hill Roads. The Dublin Justice Center is located just to the south on Perimeter Drive. The development picture adjacent to Coffman Park is not yet complete. The land along the park is lined with residences on the north and east sides. The property adjacent to the park on the west is zoned R -1 and contains a residence and small horse farm. The land to the south is still being farmed but is zoned LI, Limited Industrial. It is unknown at this point how the land south of Post Road will be developed in the future. When this property is developed Coffman Park will lose its rural context. Site Analysis The Coffman Park Plan incorporates approximately 48 +/- acres of land located on the west side of Coffman Road and the north side of Post Road. The City has been progressively acquiring property at this location since the mid 1970's. Approximately 14 acres of the site has been improved with the Dublin Municipal Building (approximately 11,000 sq. ft.), a metal maintenance building (5,000 sq. ft) and a small maintenance yard. The park portion of the site includes both passive and active recreation. The site includes a basketball and three tennis courts, a playground and picnic shelters and restroom. The passive open space area is attractively landscaped around the south Fork of Indian Run Stream. The stream is the key natural feature of the site. The remaining site features consist of the Indian Run flood plain and farm fields. The land gently slopes south toward the stream. North of the stream flood plain the land is sufficiently flat to be of no consequence in the development of athletic fields, driveways or buildings. The size of the floodway makes development on the south side of the stream extremely remote from the rest of the park. A tree survey has identified a number of tree masses and landmark trees on the site. Most of the trees are within close proximity to the stream. Other landmark trees are within a fence row that existed between two fields in the middle of the site. A soil survey conducted has determined that the subsurface conditions of the site appear to be favorable for the construction of the proposed park and community center. Most of the soil deficiencies can be handled with standard building techniques. Borings in the area of a proposed pond encountered bedrock at an 8' depth. The report indicated that there is a remote possibility that the borings encountered a pinnacle rock formation. More investigation may have to be performed in this area if the area is to be developed as a pond. The soils analysis also indicated that a very fine to coarse gravel and sand type soil was discovered in the area of the proposed pond. If this is the case, the future pond will need to e designed so that the bottom of the pond can be lines with impervious clay. The subsurface investigation also indicated that large amounts of ground water will be encountered at 8' below grade. The construction of the building will require the use of sump pumps or other de- watering techniques depending on the amounts of ground water encountered. The completed building will most likely require sump pumps and foundation drains. Coffman Park is currently served by both sanitary and water utility lines. Water lines exist along Coffman Road, Tara Hill Road and Post Road, and may be looped through the site in nearly any manner that provides service where it is needed but disturbs the least amount of park area. The site is also served by a large 21" sanitary sewer that exists between the stream and Post Road. The existing facilities are presently connected to that sanitary line. A storm sewer line that serves Shannon Park Subdivision crossed the park approximately in the middle of the L- shaped area. The line was extended from Shannon Park to where it discharges into the stream. Summary of Site Conditions 1. Development must observe applicable flood plan regulations 2. There may be areas where soils will not permit the creation of future ponds. 3. Site planning will need to include the landmark trees on the site, 4. The existing and passive recreation space should be enhanced. Coffman Park Elements and Objectives The Coffman Park Master Plan was initiated due to the desire of City Officials to include a community center within Coffman Park. The location of the community Center and the park master planning process that ensued was guided by a set of development objectives and principles that were established as part of the Dublin Community Plan. These objectives are supporting principles included: Recreational Facilities A. Objective: The parks system of Dublin shall be planned, located, designed and constructed to provide: 1. Recreational opportunity for the Dublin community; 2. Each neighborhood and sub - neighborhood of the City with parks grounds and playgrounds; and 3. Recreational facilities for use by all age groups. B. Park Development Principles: 1. Provide Mini -Parks for minimal recreational opportunities in unusual circumstances where neighborhood parks are not available. 2. Provide Neighborhood Parks for basic recreational opportunities which are easily accessible to local residents. 3. Provide Community Parks to concentrate on broad range of recreational activities for major portions of the City. 4. Provide Specialty Parks for unique landmarks and environmentally significant areas. 5. Locate parks to enhance unique landmarks and environmentally significant area. 6. Maintain cooperative provision and use of school -park sites and facilities to provide maximum recreational opportunities. 7. Carefully review park sites accepted for use by the City to ensure suitability for the projected needs of a given area. Such review will include review of the topography, nature of these soils, vegetation, and surrounding land uses. 8. Promote and encourage the dedication and development of bicycle and pedestrian linkages between parks. 9. Develop public parks in a manner consistent with applicable zoning development standards. 10. Enhance advantages of the Scioto River by providing scenic overlooks and river parks while maintaining its landscape feature and not disturbing the channel. Open Space A. Objective: To provide and enhance Dublin's natural features while allowing the environment to be shared by the community. B. Principles: 1. Provide an interconnected open space system to permanently maintain visual and functional linkages between parks and other open spaces. 2. Promote the concept of acquiring development rights and easements when desirable and necessary to preserve open space, scenic views, woodlands, wetlands, and flood plains. 3. Continue and expand maintenance planting programs for planting on public property which add to the attractive character of the City. 4. Preserve natural features such as woodlands and ravines through strict enforcement of well defined flood plain and storm water management regulations. 5. Avoid undue erosion and sedimentation by encouraging preventive measures during development. Community Services and Facilities A. Objective: City service facilities should be provided to efficiently meet the administrative, maintenance, public safety, and cultural needs of the community. The water system should provide for the safe and efficient delivery of water to the community, and the sewer system should provide the safe and efficient collection and disposal of community waste water. B. Principles: 1. Locate administrative offices primarily in one municipal area. 2. Assure that a sufficient amount of land is purchased to provide development and expansion of one main municipal area. 3. Administer Safety Service from a central location. 4. Provide a primary focus for community activities and City services within a civic center. 5. Maintain a high level of government services commensurate with available revenues based on sound fiscal practice. 6. Promote city services with well designed and integrated municipal buildings. 7. Ensure that private sector development participates in improvements to the major sewer and water systems through water development fees and construction of selected facilities. 8. Protect and preserve citizens and property from damage caused by fire, and work toward the elimination of hazards through fire prevention activities. Environment and Appearance A. Objective: Dublin's small town atmosphere, scenic beauty, unique features, local heritage, and quality development should be protected and enhanced. B. Principles: 1. Maintain high standards in public and private building design and landscape site design. 2. Promote building and site designs that are of good scale and in harmony with permanent neighborhood buildings and the natural surroundings. 3. Promote site planning in which setbacks and yards are in excess of zoning restrictions to provide an interesting relationship among buildings. 4. Maintain and enhance the visibility and character of the Scioto River corridor, including the quality of water and the maintenance of the natural vegetation along its banks. 5. Assure that the streams, ravines, and wooded areas are preserved as very important environmental elements within the community. 6. Develop an open space system which protects environmentally critical areas such as floodways and drainage corridors, against encroachment; preserves significant vistas and views; provides relief from expanses of development and pavement; and offers opportunities for development of systems of greenways and sites for outdoor recreation. 7. Maintain and enhance the visibility of those elements that build the image of Dublin such as stone walls, rock out - crops, and pastoral views. Summary Some of the specific plan elements that were to be included in the plan are as follows: 1. To develop a site plan for the Community Center that will be used by the entire community but yet sensitive to the neighborhood in which it will exist. 2. To create a circulation system within the park that will provide multiple points of access to the park. 3. Identify some area of expansion for the Municipal Building. 4. Preserve the rural open space character of the park along the perimeter roadways. 5. Enhance the historical setting of the Coffman Homestead. 6. Provide open space for plan and community gatherings. 7. Identify areas for public art. Coffman Park Master Plan Elements In the early stages of the master planning process it was apparent that the foremost task was to establish the exact position of the Community Center. The Center was to be in a prominent position, although it still had to be sensitivity placed so as to not adversely impact the surrounding residential properties. The existence of the stream and the relatively large flood plain circulated system was developed to provide access to the Center and the Park. The Coffman Homestead could not be visually impacted, but needed to be enhanced with landscaping and open space. Also, if the Municipal Building is expanded, from the elevation must continue to maintain the residential scale and quality that currently exists. The 48 +/- acre park was found to be slightly too large and irregularly shaped to be designated as a campus with shared parking facilities. Instead the active areas of the park are located in as close proximity as possible along the park drives. This arrangement will enable users to access centrally located parking lots and also to permit multiple family activities to take place within short distances. By locating the more active play areas and structures along the drive in the interior of the site will also increase the amount of open green space within the park. For descriptive purposes, the Coffman Park Master Plan will be divided into the individual elements that the Dublin City Council will adopt as the development plan for the park facilities. Park Circulation Svstem Element Vehicular access to and within Coffman Park is dictated by the Community Center. The Center will have the highest average volume of vehicular traffic, as well as the highest peak volume within the park. Given the potential volume of traffic to the Center, it was decided that the park should have three access points. The multiple accesses will serve to distribute traffic, provide better access to the most populated areas of the City, establish the park as the center of the community activity and will permit access through the park from one facility to the next without using a perimeter arterial road. The boulevard main entry of Post Road is designed so that it first accentuates the open space, then suddenly places entering vehicles on visual center with the Community Center. The design quality may be strengthened by strategically establishing the grade of the entrance drive to provide an even greater visual impact on arriving at the Center. A bridge will be built at this location in conformance with applicable floodway regulations. The Coffman Road entry will be at the same location as it now exists. The drive should slightly pull away from the residences as it passes the existing Municipal Building parking lot. This will permit the establishment of a more substantial landscape buffer than is now in place. When the drive is beyond the houses it is planned to swing north so as to permit all parking lots to be on the south side of the road away from the residences. The Down Patrick Dr. access on the north has been determined to be necessary due to the fact that many users of the park will come from the neighborhoods located in that area of the city. This access will serve to keep local traffic off the perimeter roadways. The functional areas of the park will be connected with pedestrian /bike paths Development and Design Standards • Driveway pavement widths will be 22' to 26' wide and improved with curb and gutters. • Roads and bridges will be built to meet or exceed all city Engineering Standards. • Pedestrian paths will be a minimum of 8' wide and be built to meet or exceed all city engineering standards. Historic Coffman Park Homestead Element The Coffman Homestead has been leased to the Dublin Historical Society who has taken considerable effort to preserve and restore this landmark. The Coffman House and barn and the other accessory structures have been restored for public viewing. It is the Historical Society's intent to gradually restore the entire homestead in an attempt to recreate farm life in early Dublin. Facility development within the park must be sensitive to the plans of the Historical Society. Future landscaping efforts should be coordinated so that the Homestead maintains its vintage appearance. Permitted Uses All uses attendant to a public restoration landmark including minor office use by the Dublin Historical Society. Development and Design Standards The Historical Society must adhere to the "Standards For Rehabilitation" as established by the Secretary of Interior. Dublin Municipal Buildina Element The existing Dublin Municipal Building is approximately 11,000 sq. ft. in size. The building houses the administration, parks and finance departments. The Parks Department is planned to move to the Community Center. The City Council Chambers are also located here. Since the City has recently purchased a building in another location to house many City Departments, it is unlikely that the existing Municipal Building will be expanded in the future. If the building is expanded, care should be taken to maintain the residential appearance from the Coffman Rd. frontage. A building expansion may also use the Coffman Homestead as a focal point for a new Council Chambers. Permitted Uses All uses associated with municipal administrative functions as well as other civic functions. Development and Design Standards • A parking study should be performed to determine the parking requirements of the expanded building. Parking may be shared with those lots developed for the park. • The building will continue to complement the adjacent residential structures and the Coffman Homestead. The building will maintain its existing aesthetic quality with the continued use of compatible building materials and common lighting, signage and landscape themes. • Building materials will be either wood or stone. • The standing seam metal roof will be utilized on any expansion and painted to match the existing roof. • No materials, supplies, equipment or products shall be permanently stored outside the permitted structure. • Mechanical and all other equipment on the ground shall be fully screened from view by a wall, fence or landscape material utilizing the same material or character of the building. • All lighting elements shall be in conformance with City of Dublin Lighting Guidelines. • All waste and refuse shall be containerized and fully screened from view by a solid wall, mounding, planting and /or fence.

Communitv Recreation Center Element The Dublin community Recreation Center is to be a state -of- the -art facility that will serve as the community's prime location for all indoor recreation activity. The building program for the Center calls for gymnasiums, competitive and play pools, a jogging track, areas for senior citizen activities, woodshop, art room and theater, classrooms, kitchen facilities and a community hall. There will also be space for administrative offices. The first phase of the building is expected to be approximately 74,700 sq. ft. Phase two of the building will increase the size to approximately 117,000 sq. ft. The interior and the exterior architectural program calls for the building to maintain a residential appearance. The structure is to be warmly inviting both inside and out. As the building will house many different types of activities it was extremely important to consider the adjacency requirements amount the activities. These requirements have dictated the layout of the building. The exterior site requirements were then obviously designed to match the interior. These features include the provision of sheltered and strategically located drop off areas, accessible parking lots, strong relationships to the outside activity areas and attractive views to and from the facility. For purposes of the Master Plan, the building has been placed on the largest expanse of land within the park. The building will be just within the limits of the 100 year flood plain of the stream so that as much distance as possible is maintained to the residences north of the building. The parking lots for the building were placed on the west and north sides of the building in order to create a large lawn or open space area immediately adjacent to the building. A buffer plan has been developed to screen the parking lots and drives from the neighboring residences. The structure was also placed on the west side of the site to preserve the tree row that runs through the middle of the park area. This will preserve the existing landmark trees. A traffic and parking study was performed to determine access, circulation and parking requirements for the Center. Permitted Uses All uses associated with a community recreation center. 10 Development and Design Standards • The building will be no closer than 175 feet to the west property line and 280 feet to the north property line.

Parks. Outdoor Recreation and Ooen Soace Element The Master Plan was prepared with the understanding that Coffman Park must maintain the scenic and recreational open space qualities that the public has enjoyed for years. The park has always been pleasing to those that have used the facilities as well as to those who drive by on a daily basis. Despite the fact that the use of the park will greatly increase over the years and that new facilities will be added, great care must be exercised to insure that the key open space areas are preserved and not developed in a hodge podge fashion. These open spaces will be as integral to the function and image of the park as the community buildings. The park will maintain three large areas dedicated to passive open space. 1. The area located at the corner of Coffman Road and Post Road. The scenic open space in this area has for many years provided an attractive green entry into this quadrant of the City. 2. The area between Indian Run Stream and Post Road should remain open as it will buffer the park and maintain a rural character when the land on the south side of Post Road is developed. 3. The large space between the Community Center building and the residences in Shannon Park. The area will be more formal as it will be designed to accentuate the building and to serve specific exterior recreation programs associated with the Center. This area will also serve as a community gathering area for special events. A 11 community stage may be placed at the southern end of this open space near the stream to take advantage of the natural contours that will provide good viewing. The final plan may also include a pond if space and subsurface conditions permit. Permitted Uses Playgrounds, plan courts, picnic areas and shelters, a community stage, pergolas, ponds and other elements consistent with good landscape architectural practices Development and Design Standards • All parking areas will be hard surface and landscaped in accordance with the Dublin Zoning Code. • Exterior lighting will be in conformance with the Dublin Lighting Guidelines. • New play areas will be handicapped accessible. Nyrop Property Element The site includes 7.52 acres including the Nyrop house located at 5800 Post Road that is approximately 2,700 square feet including the lower level. The house was previously used as a residential house and is intended to be used as a multi -use city facility for the public and city staff. The site is natural and the architecture blends well with the environment and any future changes should be sensitive to this context. Permitted Uses All non - intense uses associated with a park facility such as education, civic activities, meeting space, and recreation activities, etc. Development and Design Standards • Any architectural charges should maintain the mid - century style and utilize similar materials such as stone and wood. • Parking must meet Code. Any parking along Post Road should be kept to a minimum and designed to minimize the impact on the scenic character of Post Road. Shared parking with the Recreation Center is encouraged to minimize the impact of parking along Post Road. Pedestrian access should be provided from all parking facilities to the Nyrop house. • All mechanicals must be screened per Code. All landscaping should be sensitive to all contexts along the North Fork Indian Run and blend with the surroundings. • Lighting must be residential in character and be sensitive to the park setting and surrounding area. • All waste and storage must be enclosed and screened appropriately for the site. All materials must be compatible with the building. 12 Perimeter Drive Expansion Element ( +/- 42 acres) The expansion of Coffman Park south of the South Fork Indian Run includes the rezoning of the following parcels from Limited Industrial (LI) District and Restricted Suburban Residential (R -1) District. The expanded site includes the Justice Center and additional lands purchased specifically for the expansion of Coffman Park: 273 - 003966- Dublin Justice Center (6565 Commerce Parkway) 273 - 012291 - Main park expansion 273 - 012059 - Main park expansion 273 - 010590 - Residual parcel on north side of Post Road 273 - 003968 - Realignment of Commerce at Post Road 273 - 003967- Realignment of commerce at Post Road 273- 010591 - Open space at southeast corner of Commerce Parkway and Perimeter Drive 273 - 012324- ROW along Commerce Parkway Permitted Uses All municipal uses and park - related elements including, but not limited to, playgrounds, sport courts, picnic areas and shelters, community stages and amphitheaters, recreation activities and other related site components. Development and Design Standards Development requirements for the park expansion shall meet the general requirements of this development text, as based upon an approved master plan adopted by City Council. The master plan addendum shall serve as the preliminary development plan upon which the final development plan shall be reviewed. Requirements of the Dublin Zoning Code shall generally apply unless provided for as part of the adopted master plan or as specifically permitted as part of the final development plan approval. Buffer Detail Element See the attached development plans: 13 14 RED = NEW MODIFICATIONS COFFMAN PARK MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN Prepared for. CITY OF DUBLIN Parks and Recreation Department 6665 Coffman Road Dublin, Ohio 43017 Prepared by: MYERS SCHMALENBERGER Landscape Architects and Land Planners 523 North Park Street Columbus, Ohio 43215 Updates: Nyrop Property Element - November 2007 (Ordinance 91 -07) Perimeter Drive Expansion Element - June 2011 (Ordinance 35 -11) RED = NEW MODIFICATIONS Master Plan Purpose The purpose of this Master Plan is to insure that the existing and future municipal facilities and open space in Coffman Park are integrated into the surrounding planned development neighborhoods. Since there is no specific zoning district that is directly applicable to municipal facilities or parks and open space, the City has applied to rezone the existing and future facilities to the PUD, Planned Unit Development District. In addition to furnishing the information required by Chapter 1181.09, the City will develop a plan for Coffman Park that will provide the entire City with the needed park recreational opportunities, plan some expansion of the existing municipal building, maintain the historic setting of Coffman Historical Homestead and enhance the new athletic open space features already present within Coffman Park. All of this must be accomplished within the context of the existing and future land uses surrounding the site. Particular attention must be paid to establishing a compatible relationship between the residential neighborhoods and the more active uses of the park. Coffman Park is strategically located as it buffers the residences to the north from the future industrial or commercial property south of Post Road. In addition, Coffman Park i� located at the apex of two important historical roadways. As a high volume of traffic passes the park on a daily basis, the park and the new facilities provide the City with an opportunity to establish a community landmark that will serve as the activity center of the City. Consistent with the provisions of the Planned Unit Development District standards, this Master Plan will identify the range of permitted uses that may be established in the park and establish the proper relationship between buildings and the land. The Plan will also provide development standards that will permit the park to be developed in an orderly, coordinated and comprehensive manner. Finally, the Plan will establish the supporting landscape and buffer standards that will enhance the natural quality and beauty of the land as well as provide amenity and privacy between uses. RED = NEW MODIFICATIONS Regional and Neighborhood Context Coffman Park is located at the entry to the largest and most developed residential area of the city. State Route 161 from Post Road to Coffman Road is a very heavily traveled route in and out of the northwest area of Dublin. The City's Thoroughfare Plan attempts to relieve the high traffic volumes at the intersection of Post and Coffman Roads by extending Coffman south of Post Road and over US 33 and down to the 1 -270 interchange at Tuttle Road. Perimeter Drive is planned to be extended east to Coffman Road. This will create a new east -west arterial road between Coffman Road and Avery Road. The plan also indicates the desirability of a new road between Coffman Road and Dublin Road. All of these road plans are likely to increase the vehicular accessibility of Coffman Park, thus making it much more the center of the community. The extension and widening of these roads will have a visual impact on the existing area as it will diminish some of the rural quality that is presently enjoyed. Post Road has served as the dividing line between industrial and commercial land associated with US 33 on the south and residential property on the north. The Dublin Community Plan indicates that nearly two - thirds of Dublin's projected residential population will lie north of Post Road and west of the Scioto River. Dublin High School is located just north of Coffman Park and Tara Hill Roads. The Dublin Justice Center is located just to the south on Perimeter Drive. The development picture adjacent to Coffman Park is not yet complete. The land along the park is lined with residences on the north and east sides. The property adjacent to the park on the west is zoned R -1 and contains a residence and small horse farm. The land to the south is still being farmed but is zoned LI, Limited Industrial. It is unknown at this point how the land south of Post Road will be developed in the future. When this property is developed Coffman Park will lose its rural context. RED = NEW MODIFICATIONS Site Analysis The Coffman Park Plan incorporates approximately 48 +/- acres of land located on the west side of Coffman Road and the north side of Post Road. The City has been progressively acquiring property at this location since the mid 1970's. Approximately 14 acres of the site has been improved with the Dublin Municipal Building (approximately 11,000 sq. ft.), a metal maintenance building (5,000 sq. ft) and a small maintenance yard. The park portion of the site includes both passive and active recreation. The site includes a basketball and three tennis courts, a playground and picnic shelters and restroom. The passive open space area is attractively landscaped around the south Fork of Indian Run Stream. The stream is the key natural feature of the site. The remaining site features consist of the Indian Run flood plain and farm fields. The land gently slopes south toward the stream. North of the stream flood plain the land is sufficiently flat to be of no consequence in the development of athletic fields, driveways or buildings. The size of the floodway makes development on the south side of the stream extremely remote from the rest of the park. A tree survey has identified a number of tree masses and landmark trees on the site. Most of the trees are within close proximity to the stream. Other landmark trees are within a fence row that existed between two fields in the middle of the site. A soil survey conducted has determined that the subsurface conditions of the site appear to be favorable for the construction of the proposed park and community center. Most of the soil deficiencies can be handled with standard building techniques. Borings in the area of a proposed pond encountered bedrock at an 8' depth. The report indicated that there is a remote possibility that the borings encountered a pinnacle rock formation. More investigation may have to be performed in this area if the area is to be developed as a pond. The soils analysis also indicated that a very fine to coarse gravel and sand type soil was discovered in the area of the proposed pond. If this is the case, the future pond will need to e designed so that the bottom of the pond can be lines with impervious clay. The subsurface investigation also indicated that large amounts of ground water will be encountered at 8' below grade. The construction of the building will require the use of sump pumps or other de- watering techniques depending on the amounts of ground water encountered. The completed building will most likely require sump pumps and foundation drains. Coffman Park is currently served by both sanitary and water utility lines. Water lines exist along Coffman Road, Tara Hill Road and Post Road, and may be looped through the site in nearly any manner that provides service where it is needed but disturbs the least amount of park area. The site is also served by a large 21" sanitary sewer that exists between the stream and Post Road. The existing facilities are presently connected to that sanitary line. A storm sewer line that serves Shannon Park Subdivision crossed the park approximately in the middle of the L- shaped area. The line was extended from Shannon Park to where it discharges into the stream. Summary of Site Conditions 1. Development must observe applicable flood plan regulations 2. There may be areas where soils will not permit the creation of future ponds. 3. Site planning will need to include the landmark trees on the site, 4. The existing and passive recreation space should be enhanced. RED = NEW MODIFICATIONS Coffman Park Elements and Objectives The Coffman Park Master Plan was initiated due to the desire of City Officials to include a community center within Coffman Park. The location of the community Center and the park master planning process that ensued was guided by a set of development objectives and principles that were established as part of the Dublin Community Plan. These objectives are supporting principles included: Recreational Facilities A. Objective: The parks system of Dublin shall be planned, located, designed and constructed to provide: 1. Recreational opportunity for the Dublin community; 2. Each neighborhood and sub - neighborhood of the City with parks grounds and playgrounds; and 3. Recreational facilities for use by all age groups. B. Park Development Principles: 1. Provide Mini -Parks for minimal recreational opportunities in unusual circumstances where neighborhood parks are not available. 2. Provide Neighborhood Parks for basic recreational opportunities which are easily accessible to local residents. 3. Provide Community Parks to concentrate on broad range of recreational activities for major portions of the City. 4. Provide Specialty Parks for unique landmarks and environmentally significant areas. 5. Locate parks to enhance unique landmarks and environmentally significant area. 6. Maintain cooperative provision and use of school -park sites and facilities to provide maximum recreational opportunities. 7. Carefully review park sites accepted for use by the City to ensure suitability for the projected needs of a given area. Such review will include review of the topography, nature of these soils, vegetation, and surrounding land uses. 8. Promote and encourage the dedication and development of bicycle and pedestrian linkages between parks. 9. Develop public parks in a manner consistent with applicable zoning development standards. 10. Enhance advantages of the Scioto River by providing scenic overlooks and river parks while maintaining its landscape feature and not disturbing the channel. Open Space A. Objective: To provide and enhance Dublin's natural features while allowing the environment to be shared by the community. B. Principles: 1. Provide an interconnected open space system to permanently maintain visual and functional linkages between parks and other open spaces. RED = NEW MODIFICATIONS 2. Promote the concept of acquiring development rights and easements when desirable and necessary to preserve open space, scenic views, woodlands, wetlands, and flood plains. 3. Continue and expand maintenance planting programs for planting on public property which add to the attractive character of the City. 4. Preserve natural features such as woodlands and ravines through strict enforcement of well defined flood plain and storm water management regulations. 5. Avoid undue erosion and sedimentation by encouraging preventive measures during development. Community Services and Facilities A. Objective: City service facilities should be provided to efficiently meet the administrative, maintenance, public safety, and cultural needs of the community. The water system should provide for the safe and efficient delivery of water to the community, and the sewer system should provide the safe and efficient collection and disposal of community waste water. B. Principles: 1. Locate administrative offices primarily in one municipal area. 2. Assure that a sufficient amount of land is purchased to provide development and expansion of one main municipal area. 3. Administer Safety Service from a central location. 4. Provide a primary focus for community activities and City services within a civic center. 5. Maintain a high level of government services commensurate with available revenues based on sound fiscal practice. 6. Promote city services with well designed and integrated municipal buildings. 7. Ensure that private sector development participates in improvements to the major sewer and water systems through water development fees and construction of selected facilities. 8. Protect and preserve citizens and property from damage caused by fire, and work toward the elimination of hazards through fire prevention activities. Environment and Appearance A. Objective: Dublin's small town atmosphere, scenic beauty, unique features, local heritage, and quality development should be protected and enhanced. B. Principles: 1. Maintain high standards in public and private building design and landscape site design. 2. Promote building and site designs that are of good scale and in harmony with permanent neighborhood buildings and the natural surroundings. 3. Promote site planning in which setbacks and yards are in excess of zoning restrictions to provide an interesting relationship among buildings. RED = NEW MODIFICATIONS 4. Maintain and enhance the visibility and character of the Scioto River corridor, including the quality of water and the maintenance of the natural vegetation along its banks. 5. Assure that the streams, ravines, and wooded areas are preserved as very important environmental elements within the community. 6. Develop an open space system which protects environmentally critical areas such as floodways and drainage corridors, against encroachment; preserves significant vistas and views; provides relief from expanses of development and pavement; and offers opportunities for development of systems of greenways and sites for outdoor recreation. 7. Maintain and enhance the visibility of those elements that build the image of Dublin such as stone walls, rock out - crops, and pastoral views. Summary Some of the specific plan elements that were to be included in the plan are as follows: 1. To develop a site plan for the Community Center that will be used by the entire community but yet sensitive to the neighborhood in which it will exist. 2. To create a circulation system within the park that will provide multiple points of access to the park. 3. Identify some area of expansion for the Municipal Building. 4. Preserve the rural open space character of the park along the perimeter roadways. 5. Enhance the historical setting of the Coffman Homestead. 6. Provide open space for plan and community gatherings. 7. Identify areas for public art. RED = NEW MODIFICATIONS Coffman Park Master Plan Elements In the early stages of the master planning process it was apparent that the foremost task was to establish the exact position of the Community Center. The Center was to be in a prominent position, although it still had to be sensitivity placed so as to not adversely impact the surrounding residential properties. The existence of the stream and the relatively large flood plain circulated system was developed to provide access to the Center and the Park. The Coffman Homestead could not be visually impacted, but needed to be enhanced with landscaping and open space. Also, if the Municipal Building is expanded, from the elevation must continue to maintain the residential scale and quality that currently exists. The 48 +/- acre park was found to be slightly too large and irregularly shaped to be designated as a campus with shared parking facilities. Instead the active areas of the park are located in as close proximity as possible along the park drives. This arrangement will enable users to access centrally located parking lots and also to permit multiple family activities to take place within short distances. By locating the more active play areas and structures along the drive in the interior of the site will also increase the amount of open green space within the park. For descriptive purposes, the Coffman Park Master Plan will be divided into the individual elements that the Dublin City Council will adopt as the development plan for the park facilities. Park Circulation Svstem Element Vehicular access to and within Coffman Park is dictated by the Community Center. The Center will have the highest average volume of vehicular traffic, as well as the highest peak volume within the park. Given the potential volume of traffic to the Center, it was decided that the park should have three access points. The multiple accesses will serve to distribute traffic, provide better access to the most populated areas of the City, establish the park as the center of the community activity and will permit access through the park from one facility to the next without using a perimeter arterial road. The boulevard main entry of Post Road is designed so that it first accentuates the open space, then suddenly places entering vehicles on visual center with the Community Center. The design quality may be strengthened by strategically establishing the grade of the entrance drive to provide an even greater visual impact on arriving at the Center. A bridge will be built at this location in conformance with applicable floodway regulations. The Coffman Road entry will be at the same location as it now exists. The drive should slightly pull away from the residences as it passes the existing Municipal Building parking lot. This will permit the establishment of a more substantial landscape buffer than is now in place. When the drive is beyond the houses it is planned to swing north so as to permit all parking lots to be on the south side of the road away from the residences. The Down Patrick Dr. access on the north has been determined to be necessary due to the fact that many users of the park will come from the neighborhoods located in that area of the city. This access will serve to keep local traffic off the perimeter roadways. The functional areas of the park will be connected with pedestrian /bike paths RED = NEW MODIFICATIONS Development and Design Standards • Driveway pavement widths will be 22' to 26' wide and improved with curb and gutters. • Roads and bridges will be built to meet or exceed all city Engineering Standards. • Pedestrian paths will be a minimum of 8' wide and be built to meet or exceed all city engineering standards. Historic Coffman Park Homestead Element The Coffman Homestead has been leased to the Dublin Historical Society who has taken considerable effort to preserve and restore this landmark. The Coffman House and barn and the other accessory structures have been restored for public viewing. It is the Historical Society's intent to gradually restore the entire homestead in an attempt to recreate farm life in early Dublin. Facility development within the park must be sensitive to the plans of the Historical Society. Future landscaping efforts should be coordinated so that the Homestead maintains its vintage appearance. Permitted Uses All uses attendant to a public restoration landmark including minor office use by the Dublin Historical Society. Development and Design Standards The Historical Society must adhere to the "Standards For Rehabilitation" as established by the Secretary of Interior. Dublin Municipal Buildina Element The existing Dublin Municipal Building is approximately 11,000 sq. ft. in size. The building houses the administration, parks and finance departments. The Parks Department is planned to move to the Community Center. The City Council Chambers are also located here. Since the City has recently purchased a building in another location to house many City Departments, it is unlikely that the existing Municipal Building will be expanded in the future. If the building is expanded, care should be taken to maintain the residential appearance from the Coffman Rd. frontage. A building expansion may also use the Coffman Homestead as a focal point for a new Council Chambers. Permitted Uses All uses associated with municipal administrative functions as well as other civic functions. Development and Design Standards • A parking study should be performed to determine the parking requirements of the expanded building. Parking may be shared with those lots developed for the park. • The building will continue to complement the adjacent residential structures and the Coffman Homestead. The building will maintain its existing aesthetic quality with the continued use of compatible building materials and common lighting, signage and landscape themes. • Building materials will be either wood or stone. • The standing seam metal roof will be utilized on any expansion and painted to match the existing roof.

The height of the proposed screen shall exceed the container by at least one foot. The enclosure will completely surround the container and be constructed of materials that are consistent with the building material and color. Communitv Recreation Center Element The Dublin community Recreation Center is to be a state -of- the -art facility that will serve as the community's prime location for all indoor recreation activity. The building program for the Center calls for gymnasiums, competitive and play pools, a jogging track, areas for senior citizen activities, woodshop, art room and theater, classrooms, kitchen facilities and a community hall. There will also be space for administrative offices. The first phase of the building is expected to be approximately 74,700 sq. ft. Phase two of the building will increase the size to approximately 117,000 sq. ft. The interior and the exterior architectural program calls for the building to maintain a residential appearance.

Combs, AICP, ASLA Senior Planner Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission May 19, 2011 — Minutes Page 1 of4 DRAFT 3. COIC Emerald Office Area Rezoning Zoning Map Amendment 10 -073Z Chris Amorose Groomes introduced this application involving an amendment to the Zoning Map to change the zoning of parcels comprising an area of approximately 102 acres from Restricted Industrial (RI) District and Limited Industrial (LI) District to Suburban Office and Institutional (SO) District and Planned Development (PUD) District as part of the Coffman Park Plan. She said the proposed zoning conforms to the adopted Future Land Use Map and will coordinate with plans for the Central Ohio Innovation Corridor (COIC). She said the Commission needed to make a recommendation to City Council for final action. Carson Combs presented this second of three area rezoning requests. He said that as part of the COIC, the properties were located along Emerald Parkway in the area of Perimeter Drive and Innovation Drive. He said that the purpose of the Emerald Office Zone was to highlight office development along Emerald Parkway with high visibility along 1 -270. He said that properties within the Perimeter Service Area also included existing office buildings. He said that the Future Land Use Map denotes both office and park /municipal uses and the rezoning is intended to phase out older industrial zoning classifications. Mr. Combs noted that city properties were being included within the Coffman Park PUD as an expansion of the park area, and that other properties were being transferred to an office zone. He said that work is currently underway to create a master plan for the park expansion that would serve as the preliminary development plan and basis for final development plan approval. Mr. Combs said that the zoning request was consistent with the Community Plan and larger land use goals of the City. He said the change is also consistent with business neighborhood concepts for the COIC and that Planning recommends approval to City Council of this rezoning. Ms. Amorose Groomes invited public comment regarding this application. Joe Polis, a principal partner of FJ &S and owner of a 1.85 -acre site at 5375 Post Road, said that there were many uses within the Limited Industrial (LI) District that are outdated, and that he liked the idea of updating the industrial codes. He said that the site was purchased in 1985 to build a child daycare center that was turned down by the City. He said in 1989, 1997 and 2000 conversations were held with the City at which they were discouraged from developing the site. Mr. Polis said that in February 2010 he met with Planning to review the office warehouse project that was originally proposed in 1989. He said that following that meeting, they began to update their construction drawings. He said that Economic Development contacted them about a prospective client and including the adjacent municipal properties as part of the proposal to build a 35,000 square foot flex building. He said that unfortunately the business decided in December that the project was not economically feasible to proceed at the site. Mr. Polis said that in November and December he attended meetings about the industrial code update and that discussions included converting properties to the new Technology Flex District. He said that at that time, they were six months into the development of construction drawings and that Planning provided preliminary comments on the proposed development on February 24. He said a meeting was set for March 2 to review the proposed development and timeline for the industrial district updates. He said that he was told at that time that the City was proposing to zone the area to Suburban Office instead of the new industrial district. He said the SO District does not include warehousing that was part of his project. Mr. Polis said that he applied for a Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission May 19, 2011 — Minutes Page 2 of 4 DRAFT permit on April 21 to build the office warehouses that complied with the Technology Flex (TF) District regulations. He said that comments were received on the drawings from the City, and that his company intended to make the changes and proceed with the project. Mr. Polis said he thought that the Technology Flex District concept was very good and that the Limited Industrial (LI) District was antiquated, but he was not in favor of Suburban Office and Institutional (SO) District on the site. Joe Budde said he was troubled by Mr. Polis' situation. He asked Planning to comment about what transpired and Mr. Polis' request not to rezone his property to the SO District. Mr. Combs said he could not speak to issues that occurred during past decades. He said that initial direction for the industrial code update was to rezone properties from the RI and LI Districts into a revised and updated zone. He said that as the process continued, direction changed to look at the larger framework of the Community Plan and to ensure consistency with the Plan. Mr. Combs noted that Mr. Polis had been engaged throughout the development of the Technology Flex Code and that Mr. Polis was informed as soon as direction for the area rezoning had changed. He said that Mr. Polis had submitted for building permits and has every opportunity to gain legal standing for the proposed office warehouse prior to the rezoning taking effect. Mr. Combs said that his initial permit application was disapproved, but that Mr. Polis can decide to move forward with the proposed development. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if the reason for not including this area in the Technology Flex District was its proximity to the interstate. Mr. Combs said the Coffman Park Area Plan within the Community Plan identified the area for the development of office uses because of visibility to the U.S. 33/1 -270 interchange. He said that recent construction of Delta Energy reinforces the idea for an office appearance along Emerald Parkway, consistent with business neighborhood concepts for the COIC. Mr. Budde said the circumstances that Mr. Polis has faced in the time he has owned the property and where he was so far troubles him. He said it sounded as though Mr. Polis was moving along a process without discouragement. Ms. Amorose Groomes said she agreed that the process seems confusing and that she is sympathetic to his position. She said she has difficulty, though, picturing a warehouse at that location coming from Frantz Road with Willow Grove and other surrounding uses. Mr. Budde said his question was why Mr. Polis was not advised a long time ago if the City was working on this project. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked for additional insight. Mr. Combs explained that zoning and the Community Plan are two different issues. He said that Mr. Polis' property has industrial zoning that dates back many decades. He said that in asking the question of whether the property complies with zoning, Planning looks at the proposed development within the context of what the property is zoned. Mr. Combs said that as soon as it was determined that the City- sponsored area rezoning would consider the Community Plan, development character and the long -term aspects of the area, Mr. Polis conveyed that information to Mr. Polis. He said that Mr. Polis still has additional opportunity to submit for the office warehouse development until the new code and zoning go into effect. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission May 19, 2011 — Minutes Page 3 of 4 DRAFT Mr. Fishman said he did not understand the history, but agreed that it was not an ideal location for an office warehouse. Ms. Kramb asked what the options were available if the property was rezoned. Mr. Combs explained that a property owner always has the right to request a rezoning in the future to any number of districts, including a Planned Development District. He said users could also be attracted that would fit within the SO District. Mr. Fishman asked if he met the existing zoning Mr. Combs said that to date a permit has not been granted for the site, which is zoned Limited Industrial (LI) District. Steve Langworthy clarified that the permit was denied for building code issues, not zoning. Ms. Husak added that the permit was denied because it did not meet building, engineering or landscape requirements. Ms. Kramb asked if Mr. Polis could seek relief in the future should be have to submit new plans, considering that recently he was told that what he proposed was acceptable. Mr. Combs said that if the property was zoned to the SO District, Mr. Polis would need to submit a permit application that complied with those standards. Mr. Polis said he understood that if they made the appropriate modifications to the plans that his plan could be approved under the LI District zoning. Jennifer Readler clarified that under case law, vesting is typically established at the filing for a building permit. She said that he had filed for a permit that was denied, so that filing is concluded. She said that this zoning request will need to be recommended to City Council for two readings, followed by a 30 -day effective date. She said that in the interim, if a permit is applied for an approved, that filing would allow him to proceed with construction of the office warehouse. Ms. Kramb asked if he had to file before City Council approved the rezoning. Ms. Readler said that based on the timeline, Mr. Polis would have much more time. Ms. Kramb referred to the Coffman Park PUD Text and asked if the Commission was approving changes as part of this request. Mr. Combs said that the text addendum covers the new addition of properties into the PUD. Ms. Kramb pointed out that the Justice Center was noted in the first paragraph, but not under the permitted uses. Mr. Combs clarified that it would be considered a municipal facility. Ms. Kramb suggested that language should be rewritten to better clarify the intent. Ms, Amorose Groomes suggested referring to parcel numbers or street addresses instead of any building names. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission May 19, 2011 — Minutes Page 4 of 4 DRAFT Motion and Vote Mr. Zimmerman made the motion to recommend approval to City Council of this Zoning Map Amendment as discussed. Mr. Fishman seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Mr. Budde, yes; Ms. Kramb, yes; Mr. Fishman, yes; and Mr. Zimmerman, yes.
