PROPOSED USE: Single and multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on January 17, 2025.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 99.7± acre site consists of three undeveloped parcels in the NG, Neighborhood General and NE, Neighborhood Edge districts.

The site is located within the boundaries of the South East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Low-Medium Density Residential,” “Mixed Use,” and “Private Open Space” land uses at this location and is subject to Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Subarea 1 (PUD-6) proposes 62 detached single-unit dwellings with a development text that includes use restrictions and supplemental development standards addressing building height, building setbacks, side yards, lot coverage, traffic access, street trees, building materials and architectural elements, and lighting. Subarea 2 (L-ARLD) proposes 720 apartment units and 148 townhouses with a limitation text that commits to use restrictions and supplemental development standards addressing traffic access, private streets, pedestrian connectivity, landscaping, building design and lighting. Both subareas include a site plan commitment, along with commitments for traffic access and improvements, and parkland dedication totaling 19.2 acres. The proposed PUD-6 and L-ARLD districts will allow residential development that is consistent with the land use and design recommendations of both the South East Land Use Plan and C2P2 Design Guidelines, and with adjacent residential uses. The proposal is also consistent with the City’s priorities for providing more housing units as well as a variety of housing types in all areas of the city.

Development shall occur on a 99.7 +/- acre site south of Bachman Road, in the Greater South East area of the City of Columbus. The density shall be calculated without including ROW. The site is currently zoned Neighborhood General (“NG”) and Neighborhood Edge (“NE”). The properties surrounding these three parcels are zoned for multi-unit residential uses, including L-ARLD, to the north, south, and east and both unplatted and platted residential uses to the west. The South East Land Use Plan dated June 2018 recommends medium density (6-10 units per acre) for this area. The site is not within a historic district, commercial overlay, nor planning overlay.
The accompanying landscape plan attached hereto as Exhibit B and concept plan attached a Exhibit A detail the items required in a general manner. Upon approval of final plat and final site compliance plans for each subarea, the maximum number of units stated thereon shall be the final basis for determining the number of units to count against the overall maximum density permitted under these zoning classifications for the total number of subareas. The Applicant’s proposed development, site, architecture, and community planning is consistent with the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies, Design Guidelines, and Land Use Policies.

Any adjustment to the plans shall be reviewed and may be approved by the Director of the Department of Building and Zoning Services, or a designee, upon submission of the appropriate data regarding the proposed adjustment. Exhibit A is attached hereto to depict the PUD-6/ARLD Plan. Exhibit B is the landscaping plan.
3.) The Applicant shall endeavor to provide connectivity with adjacent developments with bike paths, trails, and sidewalks.
4.) Traffic Commitments Applicable to Both Sections.
A. Access will be in accordance with the review and approval of the Franklin County Engineer’s Office or applicable agency.
B. The Developer controls the property located immediately to the north of Bachman Road, and, therefore, has rights for this Property to access Winchester Pike through Kelstern Drive. Kelstern Drive was originally planned as a private street north of Bachman Road in the area subject to rezoning application Z23-006. The Developer has designed and engineered Kelstern Drive to City standards and shall exercise its rights to dedicate Kelstern Drive as public right-of-way upon development of this Property. Such dedication must occur prior to roadway improvement plan approval for the Kelstern Drive and Bachman Road mini-roundabout, as further described below under subsection (c).
C. The Developer shall complete improvements to connect Kelstern Drive to Bachman Road via the installation of north and west legs of a mini-roundabout within the existing southern right-of-way and the newly dedicated right-of-way on the north side of Bachman Road. The Developer shall be responsible for the dedication of additional right-of-way on the south side of Bachman Road if determined necessary for the installation of said intersection. To the extent not owned nor controlled by the Developer, and as determined necessary for the installation of said intersection, the County Engineer’s Office shall assist the Developer with the acquisition of such right-of-way, with all incurred acquisition costs being paid for or reimbursed by the Developer.
D. The Developer shall be responsible for the dedication of additional right-of-way along the south side of Bachman Rd along the entire development frontage. The width of right-of-way dedication needed shall achieve a total 30’ right-of-way on the south half of Bachman Rd.
E. The Developer shall complete improvements, as found necessary and as approved by the Franklin County Engineer’s office or applicable agency, to Bachman Road from the installation of the mini-roundabout improvement at Kelstern Drive west to the western property line of the development. Such improvements may include, but may not be limited to, bike paths, trails, sidewalks, grading, and drainage. The Franklin County Engineer’s office or other applicable agency reserves the right to require a fee in lieu from Developer rather than construction of said improvements.
F. The Developer shall prevent traffic from entering or exiting the Property using the portion of Bachman Road east of the mini-roundabout to be constructed by providing a cul-de-sac (or other turnaround if approved by the Franklin County Engineer’s Office) to disconnect Bachman Road east of Kelstern Drive.
