Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z19-045
APPLICANT: Herman & Kittle Properties Inc.; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite #460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on October 10, 2019.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION: DisaApproval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 27.56± acre site consists of two undeveloped parcels zoned in the R-2, Residential District. The applicant proposes the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District to permit a multi-unit residential development. The limitation text includes supplemental development standards that establish a maximum of 284 apartment units, traffic access provisions, and commitments to site and landscape plans. The site is within the planning area of the Scioto Southland Plan (2007), which recommends “Institutional” land uses at this location. However, the plan also includes an alternative recommendation of “Medium Density Multi-family.” Staff supports this proposal as the request is consistent with the Plan’s recommendation. Additionally, Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018) supports high density on primary corridors, which is also consistent with the proposal, noting that this area has not yet adopted C2P2.
