Rezoning Application Z05-054
APPLICANT: Town & Country City, Inc et al; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown and Aaron L. Underhill, Attys.; Smith and Hale, LLP; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-family, office, open space and commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-1) on June 14, 2007.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This site was originally zoned in 1991 as part of a 1700+/- acre rezoning. A portion of the development was updated in 1998 and now the developers are ready to move forward with this project. This request updates the development standards and eliminates the L-M-2 zoning on both sides of State Route 161. This rezoning will create subareas with various office, residential, commercial and park/open space uses classified in this text as L-R, Limited Rural District. The requested PUD-8, Planned Unit Development, L-R, Limited Rural and CPD, Commercial Planned Development Districts would permit a mix of multi-family residential, office and retail commercial, and open space development consistent with the zoning and land use patterns of the area.

Such trees shall be those specified in the Columbus Street Tree Program guidelines from the City Forester.
2. A four board fence, as specified in Exhibit A, shall be placed continuously along the Hamilton Road and S.R.-161 Expressway frontages with the exception of roadway access areas and any associated vision clearance triangle area.
3. The parking setback area along S.R.-161 Expressway shall include tree planting at a rate of four (4) trees per one hundred (100) lineal feet of expressway frontage. The trees shall be placed randomly in a manner that appears natural in character. Existing healthy trees five (5) inches in caliper and above may be used in place of new trees.
4. The essence of the character created by the natural environment of trees, topography, and the pond that exists along Hamilton Road and the S.R.-161 Expressway shall be maintained as described in this Section 7F. Preservation Areas A-E, described herein and delineated on Exhibit P, titled Albany Park Tree Preservation Plan ("Tree Preservation Plan") are established to preserve and maintain existing trees as outlined below. Preservation Areas "A", "B" and "C", and "E" as delineated on Exhibit P will be total non-disturbance preservation areas, meaning that all existing landscape, vegetation, trees and other growth will be left in their current state and remain untouched as the site is developed. Preservation Area "A" is +/- 1.58 acres and includes the pond adjacent to S.R. 161 which will be preserved in its current state (The total acreage of the existing pond is +/- 0.8 acres and +/- 0.68 acres of the pond is in Preservation Area "A." The remaining +/- 0.12 acres of the pond is located in the ODOT right-of-way and is not included in the acreage calculation for Preservation Area "A."). Preservation Area "B" contains +/- 0.12 acres, is fifty (50) feet in depth, measured from the S.R. 161 right-of-way line, and runs parallel to the S.R. 161 frontage between Preservation Areas "A" and "C" as illustrated in Exhibit P. Preservation Area "C" is +/- 2.56 acres on the southwest corner of the site. There will be a buffer fifty (50) foot in width that will extend from the outside edge of Preservation Area "C", as shown in Exhibit P and this buffer is +/- 0.80 acres making the total acreage for Preservation Area "C" +/- 3.36 acres. Preservation Area "E" is twenty (20) feet in width and is +/- 0.39 acres. Preservation Area "D", depicted on the attached Exhibit P , consists of +/- 1.18 acres and is fifty (50) feet in depth measured from the Hamilton Road right-of-way line and runs parallel to Hamilton Road. Within Preservation Area "D", fifty percent (50%) of mature, healthy trees five (5) inches in caliper and above shall be preserved. The location of the two curb cuts on Hamilton Road shown on Exhibit P are subject to change at the designation of the City of Columbus Transportation Department, and Preservation Area "D" will allow for these access points. Dead trees may be removed within Preservation Area "D" and "E". Adding fill, changing the grade, or disturbing the soil is not permitted in Preservation Area "D". Preservation Areas "B" & "D" will also be no build areas, however ground signage may be placed within Preservation Areas "B" and "D". A sign will be permitted in the area noted as "Sign Area" on the Tree Preservation Plan (Exhibit P). The requirement of the Preservation Areas (tree preservation and no build areas) is intended to be a perpetual provision through any subsequent rezonings or variances. All trees preserved in Preservation Areas "A-E" shall be maintained in a healthy state according to locally accepted good horticultural practices and as approved by City Forester. In areas where existing mature, healthy trees have not been maintained along Hamilton Road, the landscaping shall consist of a single row of deciduous shade trees (4 trees/100 lineal feet) in a natural hedgerow (minimum 2 ½ inch caliper upon installation) and ornamental trees unless tree groupings are more practicable or tree groupings will make the landscaping appear more natural in character. Evergreen and/or deciduous shrubs and/or mounding may also be used. Mounding, if used for screening, shall maintain a maximum 3:1 slope along Hamilton Road. Utilities may be located in Preservation Areas "A-E" provided that care is taken to prevent the unnecessary destruction of any vegetation. Developer will create a balance of tree preservation that will allow those passing the site to experience the natural features of the site while retaining views of the retail behind the preservation areas.
5. Parking and vehicular display areas adjacent to Hamilton Road and the S.R.-161 Expressway shall be screened along its entire frontage length. Screening shall be in the form of an evergreen hedge, earth mounding, wall, or combination thereof, of no less than four (4) foot in height. The height of screening may be reduced as needed adjacent to curb cuts or to provide adequate vision clearance. Screening shall be augmented with a mixed planting of at least five (5) ornamental trees or deciduous shrubs per one hundred (100) lineal foot of screening.

Utilities may cross Preservation Area "13-A". All trees preserved shall be maintained in a healthy state according to locally accepted good horticultural practices and as approved by City Forester. A tree survey showing the trees to be preserved will be submitted at the time this site is reviewed for zoning compliance.
