Explanation
Rezoning Application Z04-012
APPLICANT: Dominion Homes; c/o Jeff Brown, Atty., 37 West Broad Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Single-family residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on
May 6, 2004.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested R-2, Residential District to develop approximately 128 single-family dwellings will tie into a future single-family subdivision to the south, and is consistent with recent zoning and development trends in the area. The site lies within Area E.1. of the Far North Area Plan, which follows Orange Township recommendation of commercial and light manufacturing uses. Although residential land use is not recommended by the plan, a deviation from this recommendation is warranted due to the established development trend of the North High Street Corridor and the adjacent single-family land-uses to the south and east. North High Street has consistently developed with commercial uses along its frontage and residential uses to the rear.

WHEREAS, an emergency exists in the usual daily operation in the City of Columbus in that it is immediately necessary to begin construction as soon as possible for the immediate preservation of the public peace, property, health and safety; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the requested R-2, Residential District to develop approximately 128 single-family dwellings will tie into a future single-family subdivision to the south, and is consistent with recent zoning and development trends in the area. The site lies within Area E.1. of the Far North Area Plan, which follows Orange Township recommendation of commercial and light manufacturing uses. Although residential land use is not recommended by the plan, a deviation from this recommendation for the site is warranted due to the established development trend of the North High Street Corridor and the adjacent single-family land-uses to the south and east. North High Street has consistently developed with commercial uses along its frontage and residential uses to the rear, now, therefore:
