EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The site is located on the southeast corner of Center Road (SR 303) and Industrial Parkway
South (see location map). The proposed map amendment would rezone approximately 1.01
acres of the subject property located at 2992 Center Road from the existing I-L Light
Industrial District to C-H Highway Interchange Commercial District. The property owners
wish to rezone the southern 150 feet of the property to provide for uniform zoning on the
entire property.

Site Conditions: The site is gently rolling and the former Pizza Hut structure was recently razed
(see attached GIS map).
Zoning: The stated purpose of the I-L Light Industrial District is established to accommodate
light industrial uses in the fields of repair, storage, manufacturing, processing, wholesaling and
distribution, free from the encroachment of residential, retail and institutional uses. The I-L
District allows those uses which, because of their normally unobjectionable characteristics, can
be in relatively close proximity to residential and commercial districts. The I-L District is
intended to accommodate a broad spectrum of clean industries operating under high performance
standards. Compared to the I-D Industrial Distribution District, the I-L District allows uses
which a) benefit from relatively greater isolation from non-industrial uses, and b) generate more
and larger truck traffic requiring a close proximity to the I-71-Center Road (S.R. 303)
interchange.
City of Brunswick, Map Amendment: 2992 Center Rd.
Auto dealerships are not a permitted use.
The C-H Highway Interchange Commercial District is established to further provide for
significant, high visibility commercial uses which will reflect positively on the image of the
community, to provide for uses which accommodate travelers on Interstate 71, and to provide
locations for other commercial uses which particularly benefit from the high visibility and
regional accessibility offered by the Interstate. The C-H district is further intended to minimize
interference with through traffic on Center Road and with traffic using the interchange ramps.
Auto dealerships are conditionally permitted in the C-H district.
Comprehensive Plan: The “Future Land
Use Plan” contained in the City of
Brunswick Comprehensive Plan: Designing
Our Future, 2005 (Plan) recommends the
subject site for Industrial use (see graphic to
the right).
Staff Comments:
1.
The property owners wish to rezone
the property to allow the construction
of an auto dealership.
2.
The southern 150 feet of the property
is zoned I-L while the remainder of
the property is zoned C-H.
3.
Adjacent properties to the north and
west contain auto dealerships.
Adjacent properties to the east and
south contain a warehouse/distribution and an industrial facility which will not suffer
from the proposed commercial use.
4.
While the City of Brunswick Comprehensive Plan, recommends the subject site for
industrial use, the small area being rezoned will not be detrimental to the goals contained
in the Plan.
5.
While all permitted uses are potentially possible once a site is rezoned, it is of little
consequence since it is unlikely that any of the uses permitted would have adverse
impacts on any of the surrounding properties.
Staff Recommendation: The Department of Planning Services recommends that the Medina
County Planning Commission APPROVE the zoning map amendment from I-L Light Industrial
District to C-H Highway Interchange Commercial.
