Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z20-005
APPLICANT: Woda Cooper Companies, Inc.; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit and single-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on June 11, 2020.
COLUMBUS SOUTHSIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of nine undeveloped parcels zoned L-M, Limited Manufacturing District. The applicant requests the AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District to permit multi-unit residential development on 2.30 acres, and the R-3, Residential District to permit seven single-unit dwellings on 1.04 acres. The site is within the planning boundaries of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends community commercial land uses at this location. The site is also within an area that has early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines. While the Plan recommends commercial land uses, staff views this request to be less intense than the established L-M district. Additionally, C2P2 Design Guidelines state that priority should be placed on the revitalization of Columbus’ older neighborhoods through infill development with access to transit, and that building placement and design should face public streets helping to contribute to a pedestrian-friendly streetscape. Concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #1667-2020; CV20-011) has been filed to reduce various yard, height, and setback standards in order to meet these Guidelines. The request is consistent with recent residential urban infill projects in this area.
Title
To rezone 1836 LOCKBOURNE RD. (43207), being 3.34± acres located at the northeast corner of Lockbourne and Smith Roads, From: L-M, Limited Manufacturing District, To: AR-1, Apartment Residential District, and R-3, Residential District (Rezoning #Z20-005).
Body
WHEREAS, application #Z20-005 is on file with the Department of Building and Zoning Services requesting rezoning of 3.34± acres from L-M, Limited Manufacturing District, to the AR-1, Apartment Residential District and R-3, Residential District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the Columbus Southside Area Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the requested AR-1, Apartment Residential and R-3, Residential districts, while not consistent with the South Side Plan’s land use recommendation of community commercial, are considered less intense then the established L-M district and permits development that adheres to several C2P2 Design Guidelines; now, therefore:
