Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-073
APPLICANT: HG Property Holdings, LLC.; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; 411 East Town Street, Second Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on December 8, 2022.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with an office building in the C-2, Commercial District, and one undeveloped parcel split zoned in the C-2, Commercial and L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential districts. The applicant proposes the AR-12, Apartment Residential District to permit multi-unit residential development. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Office and Medium-High Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location. The requested AR-12 district will permit multi-unit residential development that is compatible with the density and residential developments in the surrounding area. While the Northland I Area Plan includes a recommendation for “Office” for half of the site, the proposed use is consistent with the second half of the Plan’s recommendation for “Medium-High Density Residential” land uses, therefore City Staff support the request. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #0538-2023; CV22-097) has been submitted and includes variances for increased density and reduced perimeter yard.
