Explanation
Rezoning Application Z23-049
APPLICANT: Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill and Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on October 12, 2023.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 2.07± acre site is comprised of one parcel developed with an office and conference center in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The requested AR-1, Apartment Residential District allows multi-unit residential uses. Although the proposed use is inconsistent with the Olentangy West Area Plan’s (2013) land use recommendation of “Warehouse Flex”, staff recognizes that the AR-1 request is consistent with the emerging development and zoning pattern in this area. Additionally, staff recognizes that the request does not add an incompatible use to the area and aligns with the City’s objective of including more housing. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #3007-2023; CV23-088) has been requested and includes variances to building and parking setbacks, perimeter yard, and parking space size for 69-unit apartment complex.
