Explanation
Rezoning Application Z13-003
APPLICANT: Home Port Ohio; c/o Laura MacGregor Comek, Atty.; 500 South Front Street, 12th Floor; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on March 14, 2013.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The proposed L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District would allow multi-unit development at a density of up to 11.82 dwelling units per acre. The request is not consistent with Trabue / Roberts Area Plan, (2011) which recommends institutional use for the site. However, Staff finds that the proposed multi-unit dwellings are compatible with the development in the area, given the presence of dwellings zoned in the ARLD, Apartment Residential District to the northwest across Trabue Road and the hotel uses in the area. Staff has considered the compatibility with the industrial uses to the east across Hilliard-Rome Road East. Given the fact that this is upwind of that site, and that Hilliard-Rome Road East provides additional separation and the buffering to be provided, Staff thinks this will not be an issue.
Title
To rezone 1469 HILLIARD-ROME ROAD EAST (43228), being 4.65± acres located at the southeast corner of Hilliard Rome Road East and Trabue Road, From: C-4, Commercial District, To: L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District (Rezoning # Z13-003).
Body
WHEREAS, application #Z13-003 is on file with the Department of Building and Zoning Services requesting rezoning of 4.65± acres from R, Rural District, to L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because Staff finds that the proposed multi-unit dwellings are compatible with the development in the area, given the presence of dwellings zoned in the ARLD, Apartment Residential District to the northwest across Trabue Road and the hotel uses in the area. Staff has considered the compatibility with the industrial uses to the east across Hilliard-Rome Road East. Given the fact that this is upwind of that site, and that Hilliard-Rome Road East provides additional separation and the buffering to be provided, Staff thinks this will not be an issue, now, therefore:
