Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-068
APPLICANT: Metro Development LLC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on October 13, 2022
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 2.7± acre site is undeveloped in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The requested L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential district will permit a multi-unit residential development, expanding the existing adjacent multi-unit residential development located to the east, with a maximum of 72 units (26.67 du/ac). A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #3307-2022; CV22-092) has been submitted to modify the building lines, perimeter yard, and private garage height. The limitation text commits to developing the site in accordance with the submitted site plan and building elevations, and includes development standards addressing density, site access, and graphics provisions. The site is within the planning area of the Interim Hayden Run Corridor Plan (2004), which recommends “Office” land uses at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018. Although inconsistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, staff recognizes the surrounding neighborhood is predominantly residential in nature, and notes the proposed development is consistent with its neighboring development to the east. Planning Division staff are supportive of the proposed building elevations and site plan, noting a sidewalk and tree lawn on the Avery Road frontage with a pedestrian connection to the site, which are consistent with C2P2 Design Guidelines.
