Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-024
APPLICANT: Evergreen Ventures, LLC; c/o Jackson B. Reynolds, III, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on August 11, 2016.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of six parcels containing an industrial/commercial building zoned in the M, Manufacturing District. The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to the AR-1, Apartment Residential District for a multi-unit residential development. The site is within the boundaries of the Harrison West Plan (2005), which recommends office/commercial land uses for this location. While Staff recognizes the requested zoning does not match the Plan’s recommendation for office/commercial land uses, the request is supportable noting the existing presence of multi-unit residential uses to the east of the site, and because it is consistent with other proposed residential redevelopment of former industrial areas in this neighborhood. Staff finds the proposed use and zoning to be compatible with the emerging development pattern of the area. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance No. 2810-2016; CV16-033) has been filed to vary clear vision triangle, building lines, and perimeter yard standards, as well as the use of the southernmost parcel as a parking lot.
