Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z24-014
APPLICANT: Park Madison LLC, c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on June 13, 2024.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with an extended stay hotel in the L-C-4, Limited Commercial District. The proposed AR-O, Apartment Office District will allow conversion of the extended stay hotel into a multi-unit residential development. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Olentangy West Area Plan (2013) which recommends “Community Commercial” land uses at this location. Staff recognizes that the proposed conversion results in an appropriate use, and is consistent with similar residential and institutional uses to the west and northwest of the site. Staff also note the proposed AR-O district also allows limited office uses, thus retaining a commercial use component, as recommended by the Plan. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #2010-2024; CV24-042) has been requested, and includes variances to building and parking setbacks and perimeter yard for a 114-unit apartment complex.
Title

Body
WHEREAS, application #Z24-014 is on file with the Department of Building and Zoning Services requesting rezoning of 3.33± acres from L-C-4, Limited Commercial District, to AR-O, Apartment Office District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the requested AR-O, Apartment Office District will allow the conversion of an existing extended stay hotel into a multi-unit residential development that is consistent with the surrounding zoning and development patterns. The proposed AR-O district maintains a commercial component by allowing limited office uses, consistent with the land use recommendations of the Olentangy West Area Plan; now, therefore:
