Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z12-056
APPLICANT: Volunteers of America; c/o Jackson B. Reynolds, III, Atty.; Smith & Hale, LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725, Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential or office development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0-1) on November 8, 2012.
FRANKLINTON AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and zoned in the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District, and fronts on five public streets. The proposed AR-O, Apartment Residential Office District will allow multi-unit residential or office development. Due to the irregular shape of the site and number of street frontages, the applicant has filed companion Council Variance CV12-048 to vary the building setbacks, increase the building height, and reduce the number of required parking spaces for a 100-unit supportive housing apartment building. The site is located within the planning area of The Franklinton Plan (2003), which recommends industrial uses for this location. The proposal can be supported considering the site's configuration has proven challenging for industrial development. The site is immediately north of multi-unit residential uses and would result in compatible development on both sides of Renick Street. In addition, the AR-O designation could allow office development if the multi-unit residential use is discontinued.
