Explanation
Rezoning Application Z12-002
APPLICANT: Metro Development, LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Attorney; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Limited commercial and multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on October 11, 2012.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested L-C-4, Limited Commercial District will allow limited commercial development, and the L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow a 140-unit apartment complex.

The commercial component of this request is consistent with The Far North Plan (1994) recommendation for commercial and light industrial development. 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-unit uses to the north. Furthermore, residential development demonstrates a greater capacity to preserve natural features on the site than would have been possible with typical commercial development.
