Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z23-039
APPLICANT: Jared Smith, Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill and Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on August 10, 2023.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 3.5± acre site consists of two parcels, each developed with a single-unit dwelling, and both in the R, Rural District as the result of recent annexation in to the City of Columbus. The requested AR-1, Apartment Residential District will allow the property to be redeveloped with multi-unit residential development. Although the requested AR-1 district is not consistent with the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord (2003) land use recommendation for commercial uses at this location, it is consistent with the surrounding zoning and development patterns along this portion of Warner Road. This request does not represent the addition of an incompatible use to the area. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #2458-2023; CV23-064) has been filed for a proposed 82-unit apartment complex, and includes variances to building lines, perimeter yard, and private garage building height. The Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord Implementation Panel reviewed the proposal and recommends approval.
