Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z19-043
APPLICANT: Fatih Gunal; c/o Michael Shannon, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval (2-3) on October 13, 2022.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels, each developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R, Rural District. The requested L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District will permit a multi-unit residential development with a maximum of 296 apartment units (11.94 du/acre). A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #3309-2022; CV22-032) has been submitted to modify the landscaping and screening, maneuvering, parking space size, building lines, and perimeter yard requirements. The Far East Land Use Plan (2018) recommends “Low-Medium Density Residential (6-10 du/ac)” land uses at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes the adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The limitation text commits to a site plan and building elevations, and includes development standards addressing site access, buffering, building design, and graphics provisions. Planning Staff recognizes the proposed density is higher than that recommended by Plan, but supports the proposal as the site plan includes a defined corridor, walking trails, adequate landscaping, and building elevations that provide for higher quality materials, consistent with C2P2 Design Guidelines.
