Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z20-094
APPLICANT: OBrien Company, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-1) on March 11, 2021.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of three undeveloped parcels in the R-3, Residential District. The applicant proposes the AR-1, Apartment Residential District to permit a multi-unit residential development. Concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1866-2020; CV20-109) proposes an 11-unit development, and includes variances to reduce vision clearance, building line, and perimeter yard requirements, and to increase lot coverage. The site is located within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain a land use recommendation for this location. The Plan does support the development of new infill housing that contributes to a walkable and diverse neighborhood that is compatible with existing architecture in the area and with the Plan’s housing design guidelines. As such, the Planning Division has reviewed building elevations for the concurrent Council variance, and has determined they are in accordance with these guidelines. The requested AR-1, Apartment Residential District will allow a multi-unit residential development that is reflective of recent urban infill developments in the area that is compatible with the surrounding residential uses.
