4. Rezoning Application Z94-003 - 2870 Martin Road - SportMart Inc.
Mary Newcomb presented this case. It is a reconsideration of a rezoning application that the
Planning Commission recommended approval of on June 9, 1994. The public hearing before
Council was on August 15, 1994. The ordinance is tabled pending action here. The applicant
wishes to revise the development text to increase the allowable area of signage from 108 square
feet to 130 square feet. Staff made an error in the previous Staff report regarding the calculation
of the size of the ground sign. What Staff believed was a 28 square foot sign, was actually a
50 square foot sign measured per Code. Staff apologized for the error. The applicant would
like to install the purposed ground sign which is actually 50 square feet. A number of variances
for this site were approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals on December 16, 1993. The
variance shows the same error and signage was limited to 108 square feet.
Ms. Newcomb said the site is four acres located on the northwest comer of Sawmill Road and
~ Martin Road. The site contains a 41,300 square foot retail sporting goods store. The building
is complete and the store opened on October 5th. To the north .of the site is Dublin Sawmill
Centre which is also zoned CC, Community Commercial. To the west of the site, west of
.. Marcy Lane, is the Martin Road Christian Church and single-family residences located further
to the west. The approved 80 square foot wall sign received a height variance for a height of
30 feet as opposed to 15 feet required per Code. The proposed ground sign is to be located on
the corner of Martin Road and Sawmill Road. The building was built of stone to match the
Dublin Sawmill Centre to the north.
Ms. Newcomb said that at the time of the CnD application, the applicant committed to the
installation of large plant material along the south elevation to help break up the stucco used.
Staff believes the landscaping used was not representative of those commitments. Ms. Newcomb
said the landscaping had been installed, and Staff believes that these trees need to be replaced
with larger ones.
The applicant is requesting the maximum allowable signage for both a wall and a ground sign
for a total of 130 square feet of signage. Ms. Newcomb said a number of approved variances
Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission .-
Meeting Minutes - October 6, 1994
Page 15
have permitted installation of both a ground and a wall sign. Typically, when these have been
approved, the signs are located on different elevations and cannot be seen at the same time.
When the plan was approved in December 1994, it was approved with drastic parking variances
Therefore, many community commercial district uses will not be appropriate on this parcel. A
PCD zoning district was required as one of the conditions of approval of the variance because
of this low parking ratio.
Staff believes that increasing the allowable area for both the ground and wall sign to 130 square ......
feet, especially since they will be visible from the same right of way, would set an unfortunate
precedent. Staff cannot support the request for the 80 square foot wall sign in combination with .....
the maximum ground sign of 50 square feet, especially in light of the height variance already
allowed.
Staff did support many variances for the site previously and now recommends disapproval of the
reconsideration.
Staff does recommend approval of the original rezoning with the following eleven conditions:
1) That signage for the site be limited to two 80 square foot wall signs along two separate
rights-of-way as permitted by Code (tota1160 square feet); or a wall sign of 80 square
feet and a ground sign of 28 square feet (tota1108 square feet);
2) That the crabapples along Martin Road be replaced with 15-18 foot height trees based
on previous commitments by the developer;
3) That a revised site plan be submitted which shows the old and new centerlines of Sawmill
Road, and the existing and proposed right-of-way for Sawmill Road;
4) That the text be revised to include an II"x 17" reduction of the site plan and exterior
elevations;
5) That the text be revised to limit uses to those with a low parking need as described
above;
6) That the parking lot in the northwest corner of the site be screened to Code; JIIlIl\
~
7) That an easement for the maneuvering area on the Dublin Sawmill Centre site be subject .!I
to Staff approval; "
8) That the transformer which is located on the southwest corner of the adjoining property
(Dublin Sawmill Centre) be fully screened;
9) That exterior lighting conform to the Dublin lighting guidelines;
10) That the variances are pursued and granted for the abutting Dublin Sawmill Centre
property; and
11) That the Staff and the applicant work out appropriate land uses prior to scheduling a
public hearing at City Council.
Mr. Rauh asked how Staff erred in the measurement of the ground sign. Ms. Newcomb said
the 28 square feet was based upon snapping a rectangle around the words "SportMart". The
ground sign should be calculated based upon the whole cabinet.
Ben W. Hale, Jr., Smith and Hale, representing the applicant said the applicant had been very
happy with the treatment they have received by Staff and the Commission regarding the timely

approval of the rezoning. The ~mpany is very proud of the structure and a photograph of the
building will be on the front of SportMart's annual report. The sign submitted was the sign of
which a slide was shown. He felt the sign was an appropriately sized sign for the site.
Mr. Fishman said he was disappointed with the landscaping along Martin Road and that it was
not "heavy" enough. Harry Hunter, of SportMart, said the landscaping installed was per the
drawings approved by the City. He said if the City wished the landscaping to be expanded, they
would look at it. Mr. Fishman asked if the calipers of the trees were correct. Ms. Newcomb
;;+~ said the drawing submitted indicated 2 1/2" caliper crabapples. Typically, a 2 1/2" caliper tree
is a 10 to 14 foot high tree. The caliper is correct, but the trees are very short. Mr. Fishman
."" would like to see more trees added. Mr. Hunter asked how many more were needed. Mr.
Fishman said it should be heavily landscaped as agreed upon previously.
Mr. Ferrara asked if there were an irrigation system on site. Mr. Hunter said no, but there is
a possibility for lawn sprinklers. Mr. Ferrara was concerned that the landscaping might die
soon. Mr. Hunter said the trees have gone into dormancy and are under warranty.
Mr. Hunter agreed to increase the landscaping along Martin Road with Stafr s approval.
Mr. Ferrara made the motion to approve this rezoning application, without the larger signage
requested because it will be consistent with other ground/wall sign combinations in Dublin,
promotes the long term coordination of adjacent developments, and the development text is
consistent with previous approvals, with the following twelve conditions:
1) That signage for the site be limited to two 80 square foot wall signs along two separate
rights-of-way as permitted by Code (total 160 square feet); or a wall sign of 80 square
feet and a ground sign of 28 square feet (total 108 square feet);
2) That the crabapples along Martin Road be replaced with 15-18 foot height trees based
on commitments by the developer.
- 3) That a revised site plan be submitted which shows the old and new centerlines of Sawmill
Road, and the existing and proposed right-of-way for Sawmill Road;

CASE 4: Rezoning Application Z94-003 - 2870 Martin Road - Sportmart Inc.
APPLICANT: Ben W. Hale, Ir., Smith and Hale, 37 West Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43215
REQUEST: To rezone 3.603 acres located on the northwest corner of Sawmill Road and
Martin Road, from CC, Community Commercial District, to PCD, Planned
Commerce District, for restricted retail use totalling 41,736 square feet.
UPDATE: lflii
This application was tabled at the May 19, 1994 Planning Commission meeting at the request
of the applicant. The applicant submitted a revised text the day of that meeting. The text -
revisions have been highlighted and distributed to the Commission. The revised text does not
reflect the recommendations of the Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals
(BZA) and do not meet the needs of the community in terms of uses. Staff is recommending
disapproval of the application.
BACKGROUND:
The site in question was rezoned from R-4, Suburban F.esidential District to CC, Community
Commercial District about eight years ago, imIl)ediately after construction began on the Dublin
Sawmill Centre at the corner of S.R. 161 and Sawmill Road. Marcy Lane, a public service road
that runs behind the Dublin Sawmill Centre, was constructed by that developer, and strips of
property from the Sportmart (formerly Delong) and Martin Road Christian Church properties
were acquired to construct the connection to Martin Road. However, a plat was never recorded
for it. The access from Marcy La.T'le onto Martin Road is being widened with the development
of this site.
A Corridor Development District application for this site was approved with conditions by the
Planning and Zoning Commission on December 2, 1993, and the building is now under
construction. One of those conditions required that the applicant file a rezoning application prior
to issuance of a building permit, requesting a planned district limiting future uses. A number of ",.
variances for this site were approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) on December 16,
1993 (see attached Board Order). One of the conditions of approval was that a variance -
application be f1led for Dublin Sawmill Centre. It has been received and will be scheduled for
the Iune BZA meeting.
This proposal involves the adoption of development standards for the parcel and includes the
proposed land use, layout, architecture, landscaping, etc. The Commission will make a
recommendation, and the application will be returned to City Council for a public hearing.
Council will vote at a later date, and a two/thirds vote will be necessary to override the
recommendation made here and if approved, the rezoning will become effective after thirty days.
The rezoning here is an administrative matter and is being pursued to regulate future uses on the
site.

CONSIDERA nONS:
0 The subject site contained a single-family home which was recently relocated and several
mature trees on the site were removed at the same time. It is flat, open and unvegetated.
The Sportmart building is currently under construction on the site.
0 The site is zoned CC, Community Commercial District, and a sporting goods store is a
permitted use. Dublin Sawmill Centre to the north is also zoned CC. To the west,
across Marcy Lane, are the Martin Road Christian Church and three single-family
residences, zoned R-4, Suburban Residential, and R-2, Limited Suburban Residential
,'i-J"''- District, respectively. To the south across Martin Road is a buffer area and then the
Meijer parking lot, zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development District, and to the east
,'",1#" across Sawmill Road are a bank, auto dealership, shopping center and other commercial
uses in the City of Columbus.
0 The site received Corridor Development District (CDD93-005) approval on December
2, 1993 for the construction of a 41,736 square foot retail sporting goods store (see
attached Record of Action). The plan was approved with drastic parking variances,
therefore many CC uses would not be appropriate on a fully developed parcel with a very
low parking ratio. The parking requirement by Code for a retail building of this size is
279 spaces. The approved plan has only 168 spapes (one space per 248 square feet), 111
fewer spaces than the Code requirement. For comparison, medical offices of this size
require 209 spaces, and general offices require 167 spaces. Some of the parking spaces
extend to the internal property line and will require maneuvering on Dublin Sawmill
Centre Property. Evidence of an easement will need to be demonstrated. Only other
low traffic uses would be appropriate for reuse of the structure. The Planned Commerce
District will also tie down the architecture and the approved plan.
0 Due to the parking deficit on the site, Staff believes that the text should clearly restrict
uses. Uses which require lower parking volumes include: sporting goods, furniture,
appliances, clothing, building materials, and administrative, business, and professional
offices. Staff believes these could be reuses of the site without parking and circulation
problems. Staff believes that food uses, gasoline service stations, entertainment
establishments, recreational uses, rental facilities such as video stores, beauty/barber
shops, health or fitness facilities, dance or other instructional uses should be prohibited.
Staff believes that Conditional Uses should include: veterinary and medical offices,
automobile sales, hardware, lodging, dry cleaners, tailors, and other general retail uses.
0 The applicant's proposed uses in the development text include all uses in Chapter 1163,
Community Commercial District with a number of exceptions. The exceptions include
food uses [Section 1163.01(a)(2)], automobile sales [Section 1163.01(a)(3)], food and
lodging [Section 1163.01(a)(7)], and the Conditional Use activities in Section 1163.02
plus entertainment establishments, recreational uses, rental facilities, dry cleaners, tailors,
beauty shops, barbers, veterinarian office, health or fitness facilities, and dance or other
instructional classes. The exceptions and Conditional uses would require Planning
Commission approval.
0 The building is being constructed with a stone facade and stone and dryvit panels. The
pilasters and arches are light gray to match the arched lintels at Dublin Sawmill Centre.
The dryvit panels will be slightly darker gray. There is no red proposed for the building
with the exception of the wall sign. The building will continue the flat arch of Dublin
Sawmill Centre, located to the north.

0 The site will have three vehicular access points. It will share the existing curb cut for
Dublin Sawmill Centre along Sawmill Road. A second curb cut is located near the
midpoint along Martin Road and a third curb cut is proposed along Marcy Lane.
0 An overhead door in the loading area, on the north side of the building, will be visible
from Sawmill Road. The overhead door will need to be fully screened. The loading
area is to be screened from the north with evergreen plant material, but this planting will
not help to screen the overhead door. Rooftop mechanicals will need to be screened
from all adjacent properties with a material and color to match the building.
0 Marcy Lane extends north from Martin Road abutting the west property line. Marcy
Lane currently is 26 feet wide. It is to be widened to 36 feet (measured back of curb to .-
back of curb) at Martin Road to accommodate left turn stacking as a part of this -,
development. As this service road turns to the west behind Dublin Sawmill Centre, the
name changes to Stoneridge Lane. The service road has a "missing link" because it has
not yet been connected behind the veterinary clinic. Eventually it will connect to Dublin
Center Drive and SR 161 at the Lexus dealership.
0 Along Sawmill Road, 56 feet of right-of-way, as measured from the centerline, is
required to comply with the Dublin thoroughfare plan and will have to be dedicated to
the City of Dublin. The City of Columbus is proposing to widen Sawmill Road from
Case Road to S.R. 161 in 1995. PreliI11inary right-of-way plans for the project show a
need for a 55-foot right-of-way at this time. The property line is located 12 feet west
of centerline. A revised site plan needs to be submitted which shows site dimensions to
including right-of-way (56 feet from centerline), parking lot, existing right-of-way, and
the old and new centerline of Sawmill Road. The general warranty deed for right-of-way
along Sawmill Road needs to be revised from 55 feet to 56 feet.
0 The development text proposes a building setback along Sawmill Road of 239 feet and
a parking setback of two feet from a proposed 55-foot Ijght-of-way. These figures will
need to be revised to reflect a proposed 56-foot right-of-way. A variance was approved
to reduce the minimum setback along the east property line (Sawmill Road) from 90 feet
(from centerline) to 57 feet. The parking setback is consistent with Dublin Sawmill
Centre. The building setback along Martin Road will be 30 feet and pavement setback ifill
will be 25 feet (as measured from existing right-of-way.) The building setback along
Marcy Lane will be 31 feet and pavement setback will be 15 feet (as measured from .,.
proposed right-of-way). Lot coverage of buildings and hard surfaced areas will be 70
percent of the total lot. Pavement setback along the eastern end of the north property line
will be zero feet to allow a shared parking lot.
0 Several variances to the Sign Code were approved by BZA December 16, 1993. The
proposed signage includes a wall sign along Sawmill Road (30-foot height) and a ground
sign. The signage will be restricted to 108 square feet: 80 square feet permitted for the
wall sign and 28 square feet for the ground sign. No other signage will be permitted
including those internal signs visible from the public right-of-way and property lines.
0 The landscape plan has been revised to show more interior lancl~(,J:lperl i~bnds. Along
the northern property line, the parking will need to be screened to Code (a three-foot
hedge, fence, or wall and one deciduous tree per 40 feet).

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The rezoning application has failed to address the concerns the Planning Commission and the
Board of Zoning Appeals expressed with the CDD and variance applications in terms of limiting
future uses on the site. Staff is recommending disapproval of the rezoning application.
Bases:
1) The proposed development text fails to limit the land uses on a site which has a
reduced number of parking spaces.
'-' 2) The development text is inconsistent with both the approved Corridor
Development District application and variance application.
..." 3) The rezoning fails to promote the long term coordination of adjacent
developments.

this proposal regardless 01 the number of units on th table.

It would permit restricted retail use totalling 41,736 square feet. This application was tabled at
the May 19th meeting at the request of the applicant. The applicant had submitted a revised text
the day of that meeting. A new revised text was submitted this date to the Commission with
changes to the permitted use section.
Ms. Newcomb said a CDD application was approved with conditions by the Planning
Commission on December 2, 1993. The building is under construction. One of the conditions
was that the applicant file for a rezoning, prior to issuance of a building permit, to limit the uses
.. within a planned district. On December 16, 1993, the Board of Zoning Appeals conditionally
approved variances for this site. One of those conditions was that a variance application be med
..... for Dublin Sawmill Center. The application will be at BZA on the June agenda.
This proposal involves the adoption of development standards for the parcel and includes
proposed land use, layout, architecture, landscaping, etc. This rezoning is an administrative
matter and is being pursued to regulate future uses on the site.
She said Marcy Lane will be widened as part of this proposal. The site plan was approved with
a heavy parking variance. The required parking for this site is 279 spaces; 168 spaces are
provided on the lot. Another variance permits maneuvering of vehicles on the Dublin Sawmill
Centre site. This variance is now being pursued.
Ms. Newcomb said the text issues were unresolved, but the applicant is moving in the right
direction.
Mr. Kranstuber asked if enough time had been given to respond to the new revised text. Ms.
Newcomb said no.
Mr. Sutphen said it was unfair to have to review this new revised text now at this meeting.
"'" Ms. Clarke said the big issue was uses. What happens if and when SportMart moves out? This
building cannot suitably be used for the full range of retail uses because of the limited parking.
"''*' Ms. Clarke said the applicant was proposing that the full commercial range be permitted, and
depending upon the size of the tenancy, this might include leaving a portion of the building
vacant. Staff wants this to be clear in the text, if that is the proposal.
Mr. Rauh said when the tenant vacates, there should be a new conditional use application filed.
Ben Hale, 37 West Broad Street, representing the applicant, said when rezoned and conditional
approvals were given, the uses were a concern of Staff. He said he sent Ms. Clarke a letter
agreeing to request review and approval of the Planning Commission on each type of future use.
Mr. Banchefsky said he was concerned that the concept that a use could locate in the building,
but this would require cordoning off certain square footage as unusable space. This is incredibly
novel, and it would be hard to convince a Common Pleas Court judge. He suggested that Mr.
Hale put an example in the text as to how this would work.

Ms. Newcomb said there was an issue about the right-of-way along Sawmill Road. Mr. Hale
responded that he would dedicate 56 feet of right-of-way from centerline.
Ms. Newcomb said if the Commission were to approve this, Staff suggested several conditions:
1) That a revised site plan be submitted showing the new centerline of Sawmill Road, the
old centerline, the existing and proposed rights-of-way;
2) That the text be revised to include an 11" x 17" reduction of the approved site plan and
exterior elevations; ,.
3) That the parking lot in the northwest corner of the site be screened to Code;
4) That the applicant dedicate 56 feet of right-of-way along Sawmill Road; -
5) That an easement for the maneuvering area on Dublin Sawmill Centre site be subject to
Staff approval;
6) That the transformer which is located on the southwest corner of the adjoining property,
Dublin Sawmill Centre, be fully screened;
7) That exterior lighting conforms to the Dublin lighting guidelines;
8) That the variances are pursued and granted for the abutting Dublin Sawmill Centre; and
9) That the text for permitted uses be worked out With the Law Director.
Mr. Hale agreed to the above conditions.
Mr. Sutphen made the motion to approve this rezoning application because it has more limited
uses to match available parking, incorporates previous conditions and promotes the long term
coordination of adjacent developments, with the following nine conditions:
1) That a revised site plan be submitted which shows the old and new centerlines of Sawmjll
Road, and the existing and proposed right-of-way for Sawmill Road;
2) That the text be revised to include a 11 "x 17" reduction of the site plan and exterior
elevations;
3) That the text be revised to limit uses to those with a low parking need, as described above; -
4) That the parking lot in the northwest corner of the site be screened to Code;
5) That an easement for the maneuvering area on the Dublin Sawmill Centre site be subject to -
Staff approval;
6) That the transformer which is located on the southwest corner of the adjoining property
(Dublin Sawmill Centre) be fully screened;
7) That exterior lighting conforms to the Dublin lighting guidelines;
8) That the variances are pursued and granted for the abutting Dublin Sawmill Centre property;
and
9) That the Staff and the applicant work out appropriate land uses prior to scheduling a public
hearing at City Council.

3. Variance Application V93-038 - 2870 ]\!artin Road - Sport1\!art
Summary and Action Recommended:
The applicant is requesting a variance to the following Code Sections for the development of a
41,736 square foot sporting goods store:
1) To Section 1183.03 (a)(2) to reduce the minimum setback to pavement along the -
east property line (Sawmill Road) from 90 feet (from centerline) to 57 feet; .'lIIII'
2) To Section 1185.06 (d)(I)(A) to reduce the minimum setback to pavement along
the north property line from 15 feet to zero feet;
3) To Section 1193.09 (a) to reduce the maneuvering area within the parking lot
from 22 feet to zero feet along the north property line, permitting maneuvering
on adjacent property to the north;
4) To Section 1193.13 to reduce the minimum number of required parking spaces
from 279 spaces to 168 spaces;
5) To Section 1189.05 (b)(3) to permit the use of a ground sign in conjunction with
a wall sign visible from 'a public right-of-way along the east elevation (Sawmill
Road);
6) To Section 1189.06 to increase the height of a wall sign from 15 feet to 30 feet
along the east elevation (Sawmill Road); and
7) To Section 1189.06 to increase the permitted area of a wall sign from 80 square
feet to 100 square feet along the east elevation (Sawmill Road);
Staff recommends -approval of the variances for setback, maneuvering and parking with
conditions. Staff recommends approval of amended variances for the signage.
Considerations: ~
* The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a CDD, Corridor Development District
Overlay application at the December 2, 1993 meeting. (Refer to attached Record of ..
Action.) The applicant submitted a revised plan at that meeting which incorporated many
of the changes which the Staff had recommended. At the meeting, the Commission
asked for even more revisions, and the applicant agreed. In fact, the Commission and
Staff recommended approval of a plan which they had never seen in finalized form. The
Staff report (attached) for the Planning Commission meeting recommended disapproval,
but the revised plan had support of the Staff. Meeting minutes are not yet available.
* In addition to approving the CnD application, the Commission also made a general,
favorable recommendation on the package of variances. The Commission expressed
concern about the signage proposed and the screening of the rooftop mechanical units.
* In 1988, the Planning-Commission unanimously recommended disapproval of a combined
CDD and. multi-variance application for a proposed shopping center on this site. The
requested variances included reduction in pavement and building setback along Sawmill
Road, Martin Road, and Marcy Lane; reduction in parking, landscaping and lot
coverage. (Refer to September 8, 1988 meeting minutes.) The case was not reviewed
by the Board of Zoning Appeals. Rezoning Application

* The proposed use is entitled to two signs because it has frontage on two streets. By
Code, either two ground signs (not to exceed 67 square feet in combined area) QI two
wall signs (80 square feet each) are permitted. The building will be set back farther than
the shopping center to the north. The applicant desires a ground sign on Sawmill Road
because the wall sign will not be visible to southbound traffic.
* The applicant is also requesting a sign height variance for the wall sign over the entrance
facing Sawmill Road. The maximum height under the Dublin Code is 15 feet, and 30
,- feet has been requested. Several other sign height variances have been granted along the
Sawmill Corridor and elsewhere including Village Square shopping center, PharMor,
~ Rite Rug, the Chiller, Cellular One, and others.
* The request represents a significant reduction in required parking. The building will be
41,736 square feet with 168 parking spaces. Very few uses will be able to reuse the site
as constructed if this application is approved. The Commission approved the plan with
the condition that the property be generally downzoned, by using a planned district, tied
to this site plan and with very explicitly limited uses. By comparison, a medical office
of this size would need 209 parking spaces, and general offices would need 167 spaces.
* The Board of Zoning Appeals approved parking variances for the Dublin-Sawmill Center,
located immediately north of this site. (Refer to Board Orders V93-017 and V92-013.)
* Dublin Sawmill Centre will need variances for reduction in landscaping and sideyard
relating to this proposal.
* The proposed parking layout is in line with the center to the north along Sawmill Road.
The existing curb cut located on the Dublin Sawmill Centre property will be shared v.rith
this proposed development.
* The Board has granted such variances previously in the Corridor Development District.
For example, the Buon Gustaio carryout (no longer in business) and the neighboring
property were granted similar variances for a joint development with combined access.
* Marcy Lane is a public service road which extends north from Martin Road
abutting the west property line of this site. The access from Marcy Lane onto Martin
Road will need to be widened by the applicant upon development of this site to
accommodate a left turn stacking lane. The service will eventually provide a connection
....- from Sawmill Road to S.R. 161. A recorded plat is also needed for this road.
Narrative:
Site Location:
The site is 3.48 acres located on the northwest comer of Martin and Sawmill Roads.
North of the site is the Dublin Sawmill Centre. To the west are the Martin Road
Christian Church and several homes. To the south is Meijer's, and to the east Tans1-)'
Toyota and the Festival at Sawmill center within the City of Columbus.
Existin~ Zonin~:
The site 3?d the property to the north are zoned CC, Community Commercial District
and subject to the provisions within the eDD overlay district. The property to the west,
across Marcy Lane, is zoned R-4, Suburban Residential District. The property to the
south of Martin Road and east of Sawmill Road is zoned for commercial purposes.

Dublin Board of Zoning Appeals
Staff Report - December 16, 1993

Site Description:
The site contains a one-story, brick single-family home on the western portion of the lot,
just east of Marcy Lane. The owner still occupies the house. Several mature trees are
located near the house, and the balance of the site is flat, open and unvegetated.
Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to construct a 41,736 square foot sporting goods store. It is
rectangular-shape building that measures 190 feet by 220 feet. The building is to be ~
constructed of dryvit (stucco appearance) and stone. Service to the proposed building
is proposed along the north side of the building adjacent to the Dublin Sawmill Centre. ,..
This store will share the existing curb for Dublin Sawmill Centre along Sawmill Road.
Access is also provided along Martin Road and Marcy Lane. The applicant is working
with the owner of the Dublin Sawmill Centre to provide for common service areas and
aligned driving aisles in the parking lot.
The proposal involves seven variances. The four of which involve the physica11ayout
of the site including the following: \.
1) Reduce the pavement setback along Sawmill Road from 90 feet (measured from
centerline) to 57 feet. This requirement is based on the proposed right-of-way for
Sawmill Road and the setback requirements within the Zoning Code. It should
be noted that right-of-way consistent with Dublin's Thoroughfare Plan has DQ1 yet
been dedicated;
2) Reduce the pavement setback along the north property line from 15 feet to zero
feet. The CDD District requires 15 feet on sideyard along internal property lines.
The proposal includes parking area along the northern property line in
combination v.ith the existing shopping center;
3) Reduce the maneuvering area within the parking lot along the north property line.
By Code, a 22-foot maneuvering aisle is required to service the proposed parking ..-
spaces at the northeast corner of the site~ Maneuvering is required to be on the ....
same lot as the parking spaces. The spaces are stacked along the north property
line and will have access and maneuvering space from the neighboring Dublin
Sawmill Centre.
4) Reduce the number of parking spaces from 279 spaces to 168 spaces. The
parking requirement for a retail building as proposed is based on one space per
150 square feet of gross floor area. The applicant is proposing to install 111
fewer spaces than Code requires. The applicant states that the number of parking
spaces proposed will adequately serve this store. The store is generally at its
peak for parking during the Christmas holidays, and at Father's Day. (Refer to
attached infonnation supplied by Sportmart -regarding parking gr mdr sites
elsewhere.) The parking proposed represents a 40 percent reduction and will not
be 'appropriate for most retail uses.

The signage variances include the following:
5) Permit the use of a ground sign along Sawmill Road with a wall sign visible from
a public right-of-way (also along Sawmill Road). The applicant is proposing a
100 square foot wall sign over the entrance to the building which faces Sawmill
Road. A 28 square foot ground sign is also proposed along Sawmill Road;
6) Increase the height of a wall sign from 15 feet to 30 feet. The proposed wall sign
- would be installed along the east elevation of the building at a height of 30 feet
to the top. The largest sign variances for height approved by the Board were for
'...... the AMC Theater (25 feet), Chiller and Cellular One (both 23 feet) and Village
Square (21 feet);
7) Increase the permitted area of a wall sign from 80 to 100 square feet. The Code
restricts the area of a wall sign to the lineal frontage of the elevation to which the
sign is attached, up to the maximum allowable of 80 square feet.
Conclusion:
Staff is supportive of the variances for the setback, maneuvering and parking and believes the
proposal, as amended at the Planning Commissiori~ will be architecturally integrated with the
property to the north. The aesthetics of this site are especially important as it is located at one
of the gateways to the community. The Staff believes that development of this parcel will
enhance the area and provide and bring a more finished appearance to this section of Sawmill
Road. Furthermore, the combined traffic and circulation system for the two adjacent sites
sharing one curb cut along Sawmill Road will help to encourage safe traffic movement. It
furthers the traffic goals of the City generally and of the CDD specifically. The reduction in
the number of parking spaces can only be supported in conjunction with the downzoning of the
property and by placing limits on the possible (re)uses of the site. The future types of uses
which may be appropriate for the site, given the reduced parking being provided with this
development, include general office, medical office, and furniture stores. Uses which will not
comply in terms of parking include grocery stores, department stores, and various other retail
'-~ establishments with more typical traffic volumes. . Additional effort will be needed to provide
a set of appropriate land uses, given this site layout, in the form of a rezoning petition.
The signage exceeds the maximum permitted by Code. Staff believes the overall sign area
proposed is excessive, especially as it is entirely oriented toward the Sawmill Road right-of-way.
Staff would support up to 105 square feet total for two signs. (This is based on one 80 square
foot wall sign and one 25 square foot ground sign.) Staff recommends approval of the
variances requested subject to the following six conditions:
1) That the applicant must continue the flat arch and stone treatment consistent with
the other shopping center on all four sides of the building on the top of the stone
paJ.lels; *
2) That the applicant file a rezoning application requesting a Planned District that
would limit future users, prior to issuance of a building permit; *
3) That all mechanical unitS be fully screened from view from all adjacent properties
including roof and ground mounted units; * Rezoning Application

9. Corridor Development District eDD93-00S - Delong Property - 2870 Martin Road
This eDD case and area slides were presented by Mary Newcomb. She said this is a proposed
41,800 square foot retail sporting goods store on a 3.48 acre parcel located at the northwest
corner of Sawmill Road and Martin Road. This proposal will require a number of variances in
order to be constructed, and a recommendation to the Board of Zoning Appeals on these
variances is also requested. The site was zoned ec, Central Community Commercial District JIIIIf'III!t'
immediately after construction began on the adjacent Dublin Sawmill Centre. The site contains
an existing residence and some mature trees. Marcy Lane is to connect with Stoneridge Lane ....
and eventually hook-up 'Y.1th SR 161 to the north. Revised plans were distributed to the
Commission members, but Ms. Newcomb asked that the discussion be limited to the information
received in packets only. The proposal requires variances to parking, signage, pavement,
setback, landscaping, and lot coverage provisions. The applicant is working with the owner of
the Dublin Sawmill Centre to provide for common service areas and aligned driving aisles in the
parking lot, requiring multiple variances. The Board of Zoning Appeals will hear the variances
on December 16, 1993. Both the Planning Commission anQ the Board of Zoning Appeals must
approve the proposal.
Ms. Newcomb said 60 feet of right-of-way from centerline of Sawmill Road is required to
comply with the Community Plan for Sawmill Road and will have to be dedicated to the City
of Dublin..:~ The sporting goods store is rectangular, approximately 190 feet by 220 feet. The
building is to be constructed of split face concrete block with two red accent stripes. She
pointed out that it would be helpful to review their proposal and then compare the revisions.
The front elevation along Sawmill Road i~ to have a stone entryway of 69 feet in width. Service
to the proposed building will be provided along the north side of the building adjacent to Dublin
Sawmill Centre. Any rooftop mechanical will have to be fully screened per Code, but these are
not indicated on the plan. There are three vehicular access points proposed, sharing the existing
curb cut for Dublin Sawmill Centre, and new curb cuts on Martin Road and Marcy Lane. .-
Marcy Lane is currently 26 feet wide, and will need to be widened to 36 feet. The parking
requirement for a retail building of this size is 279 spaces, and the applicant is proposing 189 --
spaces. Required side and rear pavement setback is 15 feet. Pavement setbacks along the north
vary from zero to three feet.. The front pavement setback is shown as 32 feet along Sawmill
Road, but this is not accurately measured from new right-of-way or centerline for verification.
The original. plan showed a lot coverage on the site of + 75 % which exceeds the maximum
permitted by Code. The proposed signage exceeds the maximum permitted by Code and cannot
be supported as proposed. The ori gin a1 landscaping plan in the amount of interior landscaping
provided and the number of trees was deficient in quantity, but the new plan rectifies this.
Staff is recommending disapproval of the plans distributed to the Commission in their packets
prior to this meeting for the following reasons: .
1) The proposed development is inconsistent with the character and architecture already
established on adjacent sites.
2) The proposal is not consistent with the purpose of the CDD overlay and does not serve
to maintain the image of Dublin as a quality community. Rezoning Application

3) It is over-development of the site as evidenced by the number and type of variances
requested.
4) The variances requested, especially relating to signage and landscaping, would yield a
de\:elopment which is inconsistent with virtually all other development in Dublin.
5) The applicant has failed to provide documentation of his request regarding parking and
maneuvering to assure that the traffic and parking goals of the Corridor Development
District can be met.
,-. The applicant has met with Staff since the report was written. The applicant has submitted
revised plans which were distributed to the Commission at this meeting. Ms. Newcomb said
... the revisions changed the Staff recommendation and that she would explain further.
Ms. Newcomb said the building footprint size and location was approximately the same as the
frrst proposal. The parking lot configurations and setbacks remained the same. The service area
is in the same location and the proposed curb cuts are the same.
The major revisions include the architecture, building materials, landscaping, and parking. The
building corners are to be clipped to imitate the angle at Dublin Sawmill Centre. The original
building was mostly concrete block with minimal'. amount of stone at the front entry. The
revised plan has added stone on all four elevations used with dryvit. Landscaping is proposed
to break up dryvit expanses. The number of parking spaces has been reduced from 189 spaces
to 168 spaces. (Required parking is 279.) The plan reduced the lot coverage from 75 percent
to 70 percent, in compliance with the lot coverage ordinance, and the landscaping now complies
with Code.
The applicant originally requested four signs. They are now requesting three signs: two wall
signs and a ground sign. A 125 square foot wall sign is proposed at 27 feet in height above the
front entrance. A second 46 square foot wall sign is proposed for Martin Road, which is 20 feet
in height. The ground sign has not changed, it is 28 square feet in size and 10 feet in height.
- Staff believes the requested area of the signs is excessive. The applicant's revised plan is
scheduled to be heard at the December Board of Zoning Appeals for the following variances:
.-
1) To reduce the minimum setback from 15 feet to 0 feet and to reduce the minimum
setback along the east property line;
2) To reduce the maneuvering area within the parking lot, and to reduce the minimum
number of parking spaces from 279 to 168;
3) To permit ground and wall signs on the same site and permit signs which exceed Code
in size, height, and number.
The applicant has made major revisions to the plan, and Staff believes this revised proposal is
more consistent with the character and architecture of adjacent sites: . However. Stat! would like
to see the following items addressed before recommending approval of the plan:
1) That the flat arch be carried around all four sides of the building;
2) That the site gets rezoned from CC, Community Commercial, to a planned district which
would help to restrict future uses if the minimum number of parking ~aces .is appro'Yed~

3) That signage be brought closer in compliance with Code;
4) That all mechanical equipment, including rooftop mechanicals, be fully screened on all
four sides;
5) That 10 feet of right-of-way be dedicated along Marcy Lane, and that the pavement be
widened to 36 feet to allow a stacking lane; and
6) That pedestrian circulation around the perimeter of the site be addressed.
The applicant has submitted to Staff their parking ratios on their other sites around the country.
Staff cannot support the plan as submitted. However, Staff and the applicant have come to some ~
agreement on some of the issues discussed.
-...
Ben Hale, Jr., representing the applicant, said the applicant wants something that presents their
property as desirable. Plaza Properties (Dublin Sawmill Centre) shared some of Staffs
concerns. Access is a problem with this site. Additional landscaping has been added to bring
the site into compliance. The center has been upgraded to fit better into the area.
Mitchell Kahn, Vice-President of Sportmart, gave some additional information. He relayed the
history of Sportmart. He said from an operational standpoint, parking as requested would be
fine.
Harry Hunter, construction manager for Sportmart, t.a.lked about the architecture of the proposed
building for the site. Sportmart is to be an anchor for the Dublin Sawmill Centre. The building
as altered was designed to harmonize with the rhythms, textures, and colors of the center. The
building will be steel and bar joist construction with a concrete block exterior. Veneer materials
,- will be dryvit/synthetic stone to match the exterior of the shopping center next door. On either
. side of the sign bands mere are two lighted elements backed with windows. The corners of the
.
building are cut-off. The stucco is scored in a grid pattern to give a high tech image. The
accent squares reinforce the columns. On Martin Road, heavy landscaping will be required in
front of the dryvit areas. He said the roof top units will be fully screened even though it is not
indicated on the drawing. ~
Mr. Sutphen said the arches should be continued all around the building such as those in Dublin -
Sawmill Centre. He disliked the signage.
Mr. Hale said - they were willing to do the arches in a similar manner as the shopping center.
He said they would file a rezoning case for a planned district which would incorporate any plan
and architecture the Commission approves and which would cover future uses. The parking is
seasonal, and employee parking could be worked out with Mr. Ruben. Mr. Hale said because
of the site's location, the signage was required, but they could delete the Martin Road wall sign.
The sign variance will be presented at the December Board of Zoning Appeals meeting. The
two signs together equal 160-square feet and would compare to other signs .on Sawmill Road in
size. Mr. Sutp~en said those signs were not in Dublin.
Mr. Manus asked, given Sportmart's time constraints, what action Staff was recommending.
Ms. Clarke said it would be very unusual for the Commission to take action on a plan which it

had just received at this meeting. She suggested that the Commission state the specific revisions
needed to receive approval.
Mr. Sutphen asked where else in Dublin a sign over a building and at the street were allowed.
Ms. Clarke said that once the clock tower signs are installed, there will be several. The Rite Rug
site had wall signs plus is entitled to a joint identification sign, as a multi-tenant facility.
Warren Fishman felt the stone should be matched with the real stone of the shopping center and
~. that the building should have flat arches. He also asked how the roof-top equipment would be
screened. He would also like to see the landscape code exceeded because of the large size of
- the building. Larger trees should be installed. Mr. Fishman felt the signage should be down-
sized. He could support this application if all of the above were done.
Mr. Hale said the landscaping as shown on the plan did exceed the Code. The trees are larger
in caliper than required.
Mr. Rauh was concerned with parking. Mr. Hale said it would be addressed in rezoning.
Ms. Clarke said a plann'ed district zoning was desirable in \ this case to regulate reuse.
Mr. Manus summarized that the continuation of flat arch treatment, consistent with the
neighboring shopping center, more stone panels instead of the dryvit was needed, the signage
is still an issue, the smaller parking area, the landscaping, and the false mansard-type roof to
screen the mechanica1s would serve that purpose. He said it was impossible for the Commission
to give additional direction at this time.
Mr. Hale understood but said they were under a contract deadline of December 22, with.a
closing by December 29. He said they were willing to address all the Commission's concerns.
The stone will be matched.
Mr. Greg Krobot, Landscape Architect for James Burkart Associates, said the Code required
1-3/4 inch caliper trees and they are proposing a minimum of 2-1/2 to 3 inch trees. :
'~.... Mr. Manus said if the applicant would come back with the above issues solved to Staff's
satisfaction, the Commission ,would approve it. This case will be tabled at this meeting.
Ms. Clarke asked for a recommendation to forward to the Board of Zoning Appeals on the
variances. The requested 4 spaces per 1000 square feet is what is required for office use with
no retail use whatsoever. Carpeting stores and furniture stores have low traffic. Ms. Clarke
also said the D~blin Sawmill Centre's parking did not meet Code. A variance of over 100
spaces is been requested, and the Commission's recommendation is needed. The 70 percent
maximum lot coverage was obtained by reducing parking. Mr. Hale said that, if requested, the
lot coverage could be returned to 75 percent to allow 20 more parking spaces.
Mr. Manus asked how many employees there would be. He was told there would be 70 to 90
employees with no more than 30 to 40 at anyone time. Mr. Manus asked how many square feet
were dedicated to warehousing and display area. Mr. Kahn said about 15 percent of the store
was back room, and about 85 percent was display area. Rezoning Application

Ms. Clarke said Dublin required more parking than Columbus due to lack of public
transportation and very little pedestrian traffic to the shopping centers. Most people who come
to shop do so in an automobile. The parking ratio for Columbus is 4 per 1,000 square feet.
Mr. Rauh asked if a positive vote could be given contingent upon the Commission reviewing the
plan again in January. The applicant needed a decision sooner.
Ms. Stillwell moved that this application be approved contingent upon the following unresolved
issues be worked out with Staff prior to December 22: ......
1) That the flat arch treatment be consistent with the shopping center on all four sides of "-
the building;
2) That the signage be reduced to two signs to satisfy Code in size;
3) That a parking variance be approved by the Board of-Zoning Appeals;
4) That the property be rezoned to a Planned District to limit other future users; and
5) That a floating mansard-type of roof be used to screen roof-top mechanical.
Mr. Sutphen seconded. The vote was: Mr. Fishman, yes; Mr. Manus, yes; Mr. Peplow, yes;
Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. Rauh, yes; and Mr. Sutphen, yes. (Approved with conditions 6-0.)
Ms. Clarke asked the Commission for a recommendation to the BZA regarding the variances.
Mr. Sutphen moved that a recommendation for approval of the following variances be made:
1) To reduce the minimum setback from 15 feet to 0 feet and to reduce the minimum
setback along the east property line;
2) To reduce the maneuvering' area within the parking lot, and to reduce the minimum
number of parking spaces from 279 to 168; and
3) To permit ground and wall signs on the same site and permit signs which exceed Code
in size and height.

2870 MARTIN ROAD
Z94-003
BACKGROUND:
The ground encompasses 4.081::t acres located on the northwest comer of Sawmill Road
,,- and Martin Road. The applicant has presented the plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission
for a Corridor Development District review (CDD 93-005) on December 2, 1993 and was
... approved with conditions for a 41~736 square foot retail sporting goods store. The applicant has
also received approval of a number of variances from the Dublin Board of Zoning Appeals (V93-
038) on December 16, 1993. Both Boards stipulated that, as a condition subsequent, the
applicant shall file to rezone the 4.081::t acres from a Community Commercial District (CC) to a
Planned Commerce District (PCD) to incorporate all the conditions requested by the Boards and
to limit the types of uses on the property. The Planned Commercial District shall incorporate all
the variances approved by the Dublin Board of Zoning Appeals as detailed in the Board Order
dated December 16, 1993.
The Sportmart development will continue the same type of architectural design and
utilize similar building materials in order to create a facade that facilitates visual continuity
along the west side of Sawmill Road from S.R. 161 south to Martin Road. The two (2) parcels
will share parking spaces and maneuvering areas as stipulated in the approved variance and in an
easement signed by both owners allowing for coordinated uses of the area between the two
properties. Additionally the property owners will work jointly to landscape the areas between
the two developments to screen the transformer on the southwest comer of the Dublin Sawmill
Center and conform with applicable City of Dublin landscaping regulations for both sites.
PER\1ITTED USES/CONDITIONAL USES:
A. PERMITTED USES:
;,#'
All uses permitted in Chapter 1163, Community Commercial District, as found in
Section 1163.01 shall be permitted in this development text except the following uses which will
be treated as conditional uses under the Dublin Code and will be subject to the conditional use

The conditional use administrative process for the above-described uses shall conform
with the process outlined in the City of Dublin Zoning Code, Section 1131.03. One of the
issues, among the number of zoning standards to be considered in reviewing any of the above-
listed conditional uses, shall be the reuse of the existing building in relation to the existing on-
site parking spaces. The burden, in such an instance, shall be upon the applicant to show that the
parking provided is adequate for the proposed use. Therefore, in order to utilize the existing
building for one of the above conditional uses, the applicant may have to agree to reduce
occupancy or use of a portion of the building that corresponds to the available parking on the site
for that particular use or uses.
By way of example, if a video rental store was to lease the existing building (41,736 total
square feet) from the owners, the Dublin Zoning Code would require 279 parking spaces for that
proposed use to meet the current zoning standards. In order to consider the existing building for
the video rental use the proposed tenant would have to reduce the available gross floor area to the
point where the floor area corresponds to the available on site parking of 168 spaces or
-;~ approximately 25,200 square feet of building floor area (41.736 divided by 150 (the Dublin Code
requires 1 parking space for each 150 square feet in a retail use)). The video rental tenant would
only be allowed to utilize 25,200 square feet of the existing building, as the number of on site
parking spaces would only support that amount of use of the building and thereby require the
remaining 16,536 square feet to remain vacant and unused. The owner of any of the above uses
listed as a conditional use shall present such information and plans to the appropriate Board and
Staff for review and approvals for the use of that portion of the building which would match the
existing parking spaces on the lot. Once the proper ratio of building use (gross floor area) to
existing parking spaces is approved by the Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission, the
Planning Division and the Building Division shall monitor the approved tenant usage of the
building to insure proper compliance.
