Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z21-067
APPLICANT: New City Homes LLC; c/o David Hodge and Eric Zartman, Attys.; Underhill & Hodge; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on October 14, 2021.
FRANKLINTON AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a two-unit dwelling zoned in the R-4, Residential District. The requested AR-1, Apartment Residential District will permit multi-unit residential uses. Concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #3074-2021; CV21-082) proposes a 12-unit multiple dwelling development (31.58 du/ac), and includes variances to lot area requirements, building lines, perimeter yard, and a parking space reduction. The site is located within the planning area of the West Franklinton Plan (2014), which recommends “Medium-High Density Mixed Residential” (10-16 du/ac) land uses for this location, and includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). While the allowable density of the requested AR-1 District exceeds the recommendations of the Plan, the Planning Division supports the request due to a high level of site and building design committed to with concurrent CV21-082. The requested AR-1, Apartment Residential District will allow a multi-unit residential development that is reflective of recent urban infill developments and is compatible with surrounding residential uses.
