Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-008
APPLICANT: Rocky Point Partners; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on May 13, 2022.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 12.73± acre site consists of three parcels zoned in the R, Rural district. One parcel is developed with a single-unit dwelling and the other two are vacant. The applicant requests the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District to permit the development of a multi-unit residential development with up to 140 apartment units (11 du/ac). The limitation text commits to a site plan and includes development standards addressing increased perimeter yards, access, landscaping, building design, and graphics provisions. The site is located within the boundaries of the South East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Low Density Residential (4-6 du/ac)” land uses at this location, which is defined as “predominantly single-family development, with limited amounts of multi-family.” Additionally, the Plan includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Staff notes that this site is directly adjacent to the Pickerington Ponds Metro Park and therefore considers additional density to be supportable. Enhanced landscaping and increased perimeter yards provide buffering for adjacent single-unit dwellings, and the site design is consistent with C2P2 Design Guidelines.
