Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-053
APPLICANT: The Robert Weiler Company; c/o Michael Shannon, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on February 9, 2023.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. The 12.18± acre site consists of two parcels developed with a single-unit dwelling each and parts of three other undeveloped parcels. The site is split zoned L-M, Limited Manufacturing District, CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, and R, Rural District. The requested AR-1, Apartment Residential District will permit a multi-unit residential development. The Northeast Area Plan (2007) recommends “Office-Light Industrial” land uses at this location. Further, while the Port Columbus Joint Economic Development Strategy (2008) recommends “Mixed Use” land uses at this location, the mix of uses intended is to be high-end corporate office development that supports business travelers with appropriate services. The requested AR-1 district is inconsistent with both land use recommendations and therefore is not supported. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #0883-2023; CV22-065) has been filed and includes variances to maneuvering, parking space, rear yard, perimeter yard, and minimum number of parking spaces.
