STAFF ANALYSIS The request is for a Zone Change from R-A Suburban Residential to C-2 General Commercial for the property located at 6304 Dorr Street. The parcel is 1.29 acres and currently is developed with a single family residence. The applicant is requesting the Zone Change in anticipation of a new interchange on I-475 and to consolidate the property with the adjacent property. Adjacent land uses include a landscape business to the north, east and west and single family uses across Dorr Street to the south. A companion Zone Change from M-1 Limited Industrial to C-2 General Commercial at 6340 Dorr Street accompanies this case. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) in partnership with multiple governmental agencies is in the process of finalizing a design for the widening of Dorr Street and installing a new interchange on Interstate I-475 at Dorr Street. Currently Dorr Street is a minor arterial that reduces to two-lanes (single lane each direction) west of Holland-Sylvania Road through Springfield Township. The proposed plans indicate that Dorr Street will be widened to four-lanes (two lanes each direction) with a center turn lane from Holland-Sylvania Road to McCord Road. Currently there are ten (10) single family residences with Dorr Street frontage that are located south of the subject property. ODOT has indicated that all of the ten (10) single family residences, south of Dorr Street will be total takes as part of the interchange and widening project. These properties are located between Interstate I-475 and the City of Toledo Cuba Saturn Neighborhood Park. Access onto Dorr Street from the neighborhood will be realigned to a single point in the area of the park. ODOT has designed the access point for the properties on both the north and south sides of Dorr Street to align so that access may be managed in the future as development warrants. Properties not affected and remnants of residential properties not utilized by ODOT projects are anticipated to be redeveloped to more intense commercial or higher density multi-family use along the Dorr Street corridor in the future. The 2004 Springfield Township Community Master Plan identifies this area for single family residential uses. However, this property is contiguous to M-1 Zoning to the north and west and is anticipated to be developed as a collective parcel. Based on the M-1 Zoning of the contiguous property a Zone Change to C-2 will serve as a down zoning for the entire site. The Township has also indicated that on the west side of the interchange they will consider a commercial overlay along Dorr Street. As a result, commercial zoning would be supported along this corridor. By down zoning this property to a C-2 General Commercial, the property is found to be more consistent with the existing development along Dorr Street and the future goals for the area. Based on the property’s location in conjunction with C-2 General Commercial and M-1 Limited Industrial zoning in the area and the Township support of the proposed highway interchange with limited access restrictions along Dorr Street, staff recommends approval of the Zone Change from R-A Suburban Residential to C-2 General Commercial.

1. The request is compatible with surrounding commercial, industrial and multi-family residential zoning and uses in the area;

STAFF ANALYSIS The request is for a Zone Change from M-1 Limited Industrial to C-2 General Commercial for the property located at 6340 Dorr Street. The parcel is 15.16 acres and currently developed with a landscaping and retail nursery business. The applicant is requesting the Zone Change in anticipation of a new interchange on I-475 and to consolidate the property with the adjacent property. Adjacent land uses include the applicant’s landscape business to the east, Interstate I-475 to the west, single and multi-family uses to the north and single family uses across Dorr Street to the south.

The 2004 Springfield Township Community Master Plan identifies this area for single family residential uses. However, this property is zoned M-1 Limited Industrial and is bordered by I-475 to the west and an existing industrial landscape business to the east. The portion of the existing landscape business not included as part of this application is owned by the applicant and located within the City of Toledo. The entire property is anticipated to be redeveloped with commercial uses upon completion of the new interchange. The Township has expressed their support of the Zone Change in anticipation of the new I-475 interchange at Dorr Street

STAFF ANALYSIS The request is for a Zone Change from C-2 General Commercial to R-A Suburban Residential for the property located at 6815 Dorr Street. The parcel is .868 acres and currently is occupied by a single family residential use. The applicant is requesting the Zone Change to bring the residential use into compliance with the current zoning resolution and to secure future financing. Adjacent land uses include single family residences to the north and west, a gas station to the east and undeveloped land to the south. This property was part of a ten (10) acre zone change along McCord Road in 1967. The Plan Commission recommended denial of the proposal noting the lack of commercial development along McCord Road at the time. However, the Springfield Township Trustees approved the Zone Change. In 1992, the subject property was split from the property located on the corner of Dorr Street and McCord Road. The 2004 Springfield Township Community Master Plan identifies this area for neighborhood commercial uses. However, this property was part of the larger commercial property situated on the corner of Dorr Street and McCord Road. Existing commercial uses in the area have frontage along McCord Road or are located east of the subject property on Dorr Street. By down zoning this property to a Suburban Residential zoning, the property will be consistent with the surrounding single family uses located on the contiguous property to the north and west that are currently zoned R-A Suburban Residential. As a result the Zone Change is anticipated to have minimal adverse impacts on surrounding properties.
Based on the property’s location in conjunction to contiguous R-A Suburban Residential Zoning, the existence of compatible uses in the area, staff recommends approval of this Zone Change from C-2 General Commercial to R-A Suburban Residential. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Lucas County Planning Commission recommend approval of Z19-C650, a Zone Change request from C-2 General Commercial to R-A Suburban Residential for property located at 6815 Dorr Street, to the Springfield Township Zoning Commission and Trustees for the following two (2) reasons:
1. The request is compatible with surrounding residential zoning and uses; and
2. The proposed Zone Change is anticipated to have minimal adverse impacts on surrounding properties.

STAFF ANALYSIS (cont’d) The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) in partnership with multiple governmental agencies is in the process of finalizing a design for the widening of Dorr Street and a new interchange on Interstate I-475 at Dorr Street. Currently Dorr Street is a minor arterial that reduces to two-lanes (single lane each direction) west of Holland-Sylvania Road through Springfield Township. The proposed plans indicate that Dorr Street will be widened to four-lanes (two lanes each direction) with a center turn lane from Holland-Sylvania Road to McCord Road. Springfield Township has indicated that prior to an interchange being constructed at I-475 and Dorr Street; a commercial overlay will be considered for the properties located between McCord Road and west of I-475. As a result, commercial zoning would be supported along this corridor. Currently there are eleven (11) single family residences that existing between I-475 to McCord Road. Based on the preliminary plans for the interchange, nine (9) of the eleven (11) single family residences (including all seven (7) contiguous to the subject property) are anticipated to be total takes and demolished as part of the project. Properties not affected by the project are anticipated to be redeveloped as more intense commercial or higher density multi-family use in the future. The 2004 Springfield Township Community Master Plan identifies this area for single family residential uses. However, commercial and multi-family uses are located on contiguous C-2 General Commercial and R-3 Multi-family Zoned properties. The proposed C-2 General Commercial is more consistent with the existing development along Dorr Street. Based on the property’s location in conjunction with C-2 General Commercial zoning in the immediate area, compatibility with other commercial and multi-family residential uses in the area and the proposed highway interchange, staff recommends approval of the Zone Change from M-1 Limited Industrial, M-1 PUD Limited Industrial and RA-4 Rural Residential to C-2 General Commercial. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Lucas County Planning Commission recommend approval of Z19-C651, a Zone Change request from M-1 Limited Industrial, M-1 PUD Limited Industrial and RA-4 Rural Residential to C-2 General Commercial for property located at 6560 Dorr Street, 6429 and 6505 Bancroft Street, to the Springfield Township Zoning Commission and Trustees for the following three (3) reasons:

STAFF ANALYSIS The request is for a Zone Change from R-A Suburban Residential and C-2 General Commercial to C-2 General Commercial for the 9.8 acre property located at 6633 Dorr Street. The front 650 feet is currently zoned C-2 General Commercial while the rear 670 feet is zoned R-A Suburban Residential. The applicant is requesting the Zone Change to consolidate the zoning on the parcel and in anticipation of the new interchange on I-475. Adjacent land uses include an industrial mulch facility and multi-family uses to the north, single family uses to the south, single and multi-family uses to the east and a self storage facility to the west. A companion Zone Change from M-1, M-1 PUD and RA-4 Rural Residential to C-2 General Commercial at 6560 Dorr Street, 6429 and 6505 Bancroft Street accompanies this case.
Springfield Township has indicated that prior to an interchange being constructed at I-475 and Dorr Street; a commercial overlay will be considered for the properties located between McCord Road and west of I-475. As a result, commercial zoning would be supported along this corridor. Currently there are eleven (11) single family residences that existing between I-475 to McCord Road. Based on the preliminary plans for the interchange, nine (9) of the eleven (11) single family residences are anticipated to be total takes and demolished as part of the project. It is anticipated that once the interchange is completed, all properties with frontage along Dorr Street will be redeveloped as commercial or multi-family uses. The 2004 Springfield Township Community Master Plan identifies this area for neighborhood commercial and single family residential uses, which follow the current zoning lines respectively. Although, the plan identifies that the site for neighborhood commercial and single family use, the property is currently split zoned C-2 and R-A while a mixture of commercial, multi-family residential and industrial uses are existing on the contiguous properties to the north, east and west. A Zone Change to C-2 is anticipated to have minimal adverse impacts on surrounding properties. Staff recommends approval of the Zone Change for several reasons. First, the property is split zoned and the zone change will correct this situation. Second, the proposed C-2 Zoning is compatible with the zoning of nearby parcels. Finally, the Township is supportive of the Zone Change in anticipation of the new I-475 interchange at Dorr Street.

Request - Amendments to the Springfield Township Zoning Resolution Regarding Sections 1202 & 1302 for Churches or Places of Worship in C-1 & C-2 Districts.
Location - Springfield Township Applicant - Springfield Township Zoning Commission
STAFF ANALYSIS The Springfield Township Zoning Commission has requested an amendment to Sections 1202 & 1302 of the Springfield Township Zoning Resolution. The nature of the amendment is to remove churches or places of worship from the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial and C-2 General Commercial Zoning Districts. Currently churches or places of worship are permitted with conditional use approval in both the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial and C-2 General Commercial Zoning Districts. All Townships in Lucas County with the exception of Harding Township allow (permitted or with a conditional use) churches or places of worship in their commercial districts. Although the majority of Townships allows churches or places of worship in their commercial districts the Lucas County Prosecutors Office has found no legal issues with the proposal. Staff does not object to the proposed amendments as shown in Exhibit “A”. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Lucas County Planning Commission, recommend approval of the proposed amendments, as shown in Exhibit “A” to the Springfield Township Zoning Commission and Trustees.

Subject
Request - Amendments to the Swanton Township Zoning Resolution Regarding Modifications to Sections 2.1, 4.2 & 4.3
Location - Swanton Township Applicant - Swanton Township Zoning Commission
STAFF ANALYSIS The Swanton Township Zoning Commission has requested an amendment to Sections 2.1, 4.2 & 4.3 of the Swanton Township Zoning Resolution. The nature of the amendments is to clarify the definition of kennel, provide a minimum floor area standard and increase the minimum lot area requirement in the A Agriculture District. Section 2.1 Definitions - Kennel
The Swanton Township Zoning Resolution currently defines a kennel as: “Any lot or premises on which four (4) or more dogs, more than four (4) months of age, are kept.” The Township is requesting that the definition of kennel be modified to read “Any establishment in which dogs are kept on-site for the purposes of breeding, selling, raising, training or boarding. This amendment will further clarify the use while allowing residents to possess an unrestricted number of dogs as personal pets. Staff does not object to the proposed amendment as shown in Exhibit “A”. Section 4.2 Minimum Floor Area Requirement
The Swanton Township Zoning Resolution currently defaults to the minimum square footage requirements for dwelling units set forth by Lucas County Building Regulations. The Lucas County Planning Commission conducted a comprehensive study on Tiny Houses in late 2016. As part of that study staff found that all residential dwellings (subject to the standards of the Residential Buidling Code of Ohio) are required to have a minimum ceiling height of 7 feet and a minimum habitable room size of 70 square feet. This allows individuals to construct smaller (tiny) houses, subject to these minimum standards. However, most townships provide a standard that ranges from 900 to 1,500 square feet for a single-story dwelling. This amendment will require all dwellings provide a minimum floor area of 1,200 square feet per unit. Staff does not object to the proposed amendment as shown in Exhibit “A”.

STAFF ANALYSIS (cont’d) Section 4.3 Basic Yard, Area and Height Requirements Swanton Township is requesting to increase the minimum acreage requirement in the A Agriculture Zoning District from one (1) acre to five (5) acres. The Township has requested the amendment to ensure that large multi-acreage parcels are being preserved and not divided into smaller one (1) acre residential lots. The process for subdividing land is regulated by the Lucas County Subdivision Regulations. However, the Subdivision Regulations indicate that any proposed division of land shall not be contrary to applicable zoning regulations. The Swanton Township Zoning Resolution currently requires a minimum of one (1) acre of land in the A Agricultural District. Several Townships in Lucas County have a requirement of one (1) acre in their A Agricultural Districts. However, Providence and Spencer Townships require three (3) acres and Jerusalem requires one and one-half (1½) acres in their Agricultural Districts. Richfield is unique as they established an Agricultural District in 2004, resulting in both an Agricultural and an Agricultural/Residential District. The Agricultural/Residential District has a (1) acre requirement while the Agricultural District has a twenty (20) acre requirement. Staff found that 96.3 percent (1,433 parcels) of the parcels in Swanton Township (1488 parcels) are Zoned A Agriculture and could be directly impacted by this amendment. Currently there are 140 parcels located in the A Zoned portion of the Township that are less than one (1) acre in size and non-conforming lots of record. If the Township were to increase the minimum lot requirement to five (5) acres this would render an additional 734 parcels non-conforming. Reducing the minimum lot requirement to three (3) acres lowers the number of non-conforming lots of record to 654 parcels. Furthermore, there are 515 A Agriculture Zoned lots in Swanton Township that are between one (1) and three (3) acres in size. Although the data supports no change in the minimum acreage requirement, in an effort to preserve the rural nature of the Township by reducing the number of smaller one (1) acre residential lots, minimizing the overall number of lots rendered non-conforming by this amendment and conducting an analysis of minimum acreage requirements of similar Townships in Lucas County, staff recommends approval of a minimum acreage requirement of three (3) acres for A Agriculture Zoned parcels. The Township has requested that a footnote be added to the acreage requirement that indicates: “Parcels deeded prior to this requirement shall not be affected by this change in acreage.” This change is not recommended as Section 11 of the Swanton Township Zoning Resolution currently addresses lots of record or “grandfathered lots”. Lots of Record become effective at the date of adoption or amendment to the Zoning Resolution. As a result, staff recommends no changes to the footnotes in section 4.3.
