Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z25-005
APPLICANT: Preferred Living, c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 120; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on May 8, 2025.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 14.9± acre site consists of one undeveloped parcel and one parcel developed with a single unit dwelling, a cell tower and a garage, all zoned in the R, Rural District. The requested ARLD, Apartment Residential District will allow multi-unit residential development. The site is located within the planning area of the Far North Area Plan (2014) which recommends “Mixed Use (Community)” land uses at this location. The proposal is generally consistent with this recommendation, which includes residential uses at a density of 10-16 dwelling units per acre. Although the ARLD district allows density that slightly exceeds the Plan's recommendation, staff notes that there are developments of similar densities east and southeast of the site, and therefore supports the requested district. Concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1650-2025; CV25-011) proposes an apartment complex containing a maximum of 210 dwelling-units with a commitment to a site plan. That request includes variances to reduce building lines and perimeter yard, and also includes traffic-related commitments.
