APPLICANT: Village Communities, LLC; c/o David L. Hodge, Atty., Smith and Hale; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-family residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on October 13, 2005.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

The limitation text provides for adequate screening, landscaping and sidewalks. The site is located within the boundaries of the Far North Plan (1994) in Subarea F2, which recommends neighborhood-oriented commercial for this undeveloped site. A deviation from the plan is warranted because residential single-family development has been established adjacent to the site, to the east. The requested L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District is consistent with the zoning and development patterns of the area.
