This application involves a 9.9-acre site located at 543 Taylor Avenue in Columbus, OH. The site is currently zoned Commercial Planned Development District (CPD) and M-2 Manufacturing District. The request is for a rezoning to CPD (H-110) to permit a parking lot expansion for an existing medical clinic, known as OSU Outpatient Care East. The current CPD district allows for the removal of setback requirements along its western boundary where the parking lot expansion will occur. The proposed CPD text commits to use restrictions and provisions for lot coverage, access, traffic improvements, bicycle parking, street trees, landscaping, and graphics controls. Modifications to code standards include permitting parcel lines to divide maneuvering areas and parking spaces, eliminating parking lot trees in Subarea C, and exceeding the maximum number of parking spaces. The project aligns with the Near East Area Plan's recommendation for "Office/Light Industrial/Mixed Uses". The Near East Area Commission recommended approval by a vote of 12-0-1.
