RE: To rezone the property known as 1403 Roseneath Road from the B-7 Mixed-Use Business District to the TOD-1 Transit Oriented Nodal District.
ORD. OR RES. No.
PURPOSE: To rezone the property known as 1403 Roseneath Road from the B-7 Mixed-Use Business District to the TOD-1 Transit Oriented Nodal District.
REASON: The applicant is requesting to rezone the .433 acre parcel from the B-7 Mixed-Use Business District to the TOD-1 Transit Oriented Nodal District to enable the expansion of permitted uses on the site without the requirement of additional on-site parking
RECOMMENDATION: In accordance with the requirements of the City Charter and the Zoning Ordinance, the City Planning Commission will review this request and make a recommendation to City Council. This item will be scheduled for consideration by the Commission at its May 6, 2019 meeting. A letter outlining the Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to City Council following that meeting.
BACKGROUND: The subject property consists of a .433 acre parcel located in the Scott’s Addition neighborhood of the Near West Planning District. This mixed-use property houses a vacant restaurant with a legally nonconforming nightclub containing 7,784 square feet of floor space on the ground floor. The second floor contains 3,352 square feet of general office space. Surface parking for both uses is located along Roseneath Road and West Clay Street.
The B-7 Mixed-Use Business Zoning District allows office and restaurants as permitted uses. Based on the stated square footage of the restaurant, 18 parking spaces must be provided for the restaurant use. The site provides 14 spaces thus making the restaurant a legally non-conforming use. Should the proprietor wishes to provide outdoor seating, the off-site parking requirement would increase proportional to the size of the outdoor seating area. The TOD-1 Transit Nodal Zoning District has no on-site parking requirement. The current restaurant and office areas would be a permitted use as would a proposed outdoor seating area.
The Pulse Corridor Plan designates the subject property for Industrial Mixed-Use land use. “Industrial Mixed-use areas are traditionally industrial areas that are transitioning to mixed-use due to their proximity to growing neighborhoods, but still retain industrial uses…Primary Uses [include]industrial, multi-family residential, office, retail, and personal service [uses] (p. XII).
More specifically, the subject property is within the Cleveland Station Area. According to the Pulse Plan, the Cleveland Station vision is as follows: the “area unifies two vibrant, distinct, pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods by maximizing the potential of under-utilized parcels and supporting new forms of development that are walkable, dense, and mixed-use. Scott’s Addition continues its evolution as a mixed-use neighborhood, and W. Broad Street transforms into a high quality urban avenue that is safe to cross, while becoming a destination in its own right for residential, office, retail and compatible entertainment uses.” Also, “the Industrial Mixed-Uses in Scott’s Addition accommodate the emerging residential, office, and retail uses alongside the established and emerging light industrial uses” (p. 54).
Across Roseneath Road to the northwest are the Scott’s View apartments currently under construction on property located in the TOD-1 Transit Nodal Zoning District. To the south, across W. Clay Street is Golden’s Auto Body and Paint shop. Abutting to the northeast is a paved parking lot. Abutting to the southeast is an office-warehouse use. These properties are located in the B-7 Mixed-Use Business Zoning District.
