Rezoning Application # Z10-004
APPLICANT: Carol Ruff; c/o Walter S. Withers, Architect; 1250 Chambers Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Housing for the elderly and assisted living facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on April 8, 2010.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District would allow expansion of a 94-unit housing for the elderly and assisted living facility. The current CPD text limits the development to 102 units, and the proposed increase of 11 units is a net increase of 3 additional permitted units. The CPD text commits to a site layout, contains use restrictions, and carries over appropriate development standards to preserve the existing landscaping and buffering. The request is compatible with the zoning and development patterns in the area.
