Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z23-056
APPLICANT: Ebright Road Chapter 2 LLC, c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on November 9, 2023.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 10.97± acre site consists of three parcels developed with single-unit dwellings and a monopole telecommunications antenna, all in the R, Rural District as the result of recent annexation into the City of Columbus. The requested ARLD, Apartment Residential District will allow a multi-unit residential development. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #0164-2024; CV23-102) demonstrating a 186-unit apartment complex with a reduced perimeter yard and conformance of the existing monopole telecommunications antenna has been requested. The South East Land Use Plan (2018) recommendation for this site is “Low-Medium Density Residential (6-10 du/ac).” While the proposal is somewhat inconsistent with the land use recommendations of the South East Land Use Plan, staff note the proposal’s compatibility with multi-unit residential development south of the site and general consistency with Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2019) as mitigating factors. Additionally, the proposed development will provide additional housing consistent with the City’s objectives.
