Explanation
Rezoning Application # Z06-090
APPLICANT: The New Albany Company, LLC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Attorney; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-family residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval (1-4) on October 11, 2007.
ROCKY FORK - BLACKLICK ACCORD IMPLEMENTATION PANEL: Approval
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 86.47± acre site encompasses four subareas. A 4.73 acre parcel at the northwest portion of the site (subarea 1), along Central College Road, is proposed to be rezoned from R, Rural District to the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District. A 5.2 acre parcel on the west portion of the site (subarea 2), along Harlem Road, is proposed to be rezoned from R, Rural District to PUD-4, Planned Unit Development District. The remaining 76.5± acres (subareas 3 and 4), located in the eastern portion of the site, will remain zoned L-ARO, Limited Apartment Residential/Office District. There is a required 25-foot wide setback along the west property line. This rezoning proposes to remove the requirement for the internal property line setback between the two new properties and the property zoned L-ARO. The 25-foot wide setback would still be required adjacent to all properties not part of this request. The proposed rezoning would permit multi-family development in Subarea 1, two-family dwellings in Subarea 2, and remove the setbacks from the shared property lines in Subareas 3 and 4. The request is consistent and compatible with the development in the area.
