APPLICANT: Hartford Village Commons, LLC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown and David Hodge, Attys.; Smith & Hale, LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on August 9, 2012.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is an undeveloped portion of a multi-unit residential development zoned in the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District. The requested L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow higher density and change the type of unit that was originally planned for this development. The limitation text provides development standards for a maximum of 72 units, landscaping, building materials commitments, lighting controls, and five-foot-wide sidewalks. The over-all density of the developed portion of the complex and the proposed 72 units will net 13.5 units/acre. The site is located within the planning area of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends medium-to-high density residential uses for this location. The requested rezoning is consistent with the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan with respect to land use recommendations, and with the zoning and development patterns of the area.
