Consultant urges Marble Cliff to update development standards ahead of likely redevelopments
Summary
At the Feb. 18 council meeting, consultant Jamie Gentry urged Marble Cliff officials to proactively update development standards for areas including 2200 W. Fifth Ave. and 1600 Dublin Road; Council asked for examples from neighboring municipalities and tasked Gentry with further research.
Jamie Gentry told the Village of Marble Cliff Council on Feb. 18 that the village should take a proactive approach to updating its Development Standards to prepare for likely redevelopment at 2200 W. Fifth Avenue and 1600 Dublin Road. Gentry said 2200 W. Fifth Avenue will “most likely be redeveloped when AEP sells it,” and that 1600 Dublin Road is currently for sale and “may or may not be redeveloped.” He asked Council members to share their goals so he can guide future decisions and said he would do further research and report back to Council.
Council members discussed the village’s current zoning, conditional uses and how Marble Cliff might adapt standards without duplicating surrounding rules. Council President Dow T. Voelker said members consulted the Grandview Building Department to better understand neighboring procedures, and Councilmember Marcia A. Thomas is converting a flow chart into a questionnaire to place on the village website so residents can begin the process.
Council members emphasized that any decisions about zoning updates should consider the village’s revenue needs for the affected areas. No timetable or specific draft ordinances were presented at the meeting; Gentry committed to returning with additional research and examples from Grandview and Upper Arlington.
The discussion took place during the meeting’s visitor presentation period. The council did not take formal action on zoning at this meeting; updates will be provided as staff and the consultant continue their work.
