Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z23-070
APPLICANT: Community Housing Network, c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, First Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Donald Plank, Atty.; 411 East Town Street, Second Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on November 14, 2024.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 1.06± acre site consists of four undeveloped parcels, two full parcels and two partial parcels, all in the R-2F, Residential District. The proposed AR-2, Apartment Residential District will allow multi-unit residential uses on the site. While the Near East Area Plan (2005) does not have a recommended land use for this location, staff recognizes the site’s proximity to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, a major employment center, and East Main Street, a transit oriented mixed-use corridor, as reasons to support multi-unit residential land use at this location. Additionally, this rezoning request fulfills a condition with the previously approved Council variance, Ordinance #0062-2024 (CV23-117), passed on January 8, 2024. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #3321-2024; CV24-103) has been filed for a 50-unit apartment building, and includes variances to building height, landscaping and screening, required parking, building setback, and side yards.
