APPLICANT: Dominion Homes, Inc.; c/o Robert A. Meyer, Jr., Atty.; Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur LLP; 41 South High Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Single-family residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on March 11, 2010.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 15.9± acre site is undeveloped and zoned in the NG, Neighborhood General District (Z03-104C). The applicant requests a rezoning to the NE, Neighborhood Edge District. The proposal includes a decrease in dwelling units from 80 to 68 and changes the internal circulation by removing alley-based dwellings. A companion Council Variance (CV09-032) is under consideration to vary the garage setback and tree planting pattern requirements in the NE District. The requested NE, Neighborhood Edge District remains consistent with the land use recommendations of the Rocky Fork/Blacklick Accord (2003), for Traditional Neighborhood Development, and is compatible with the zoning and development patterns of the area.
