Explanation
Rezoning Application Z23-023
APPLICANT: Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill and Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on June 8, 2023.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 5.41± acre site consists of two parcels, each developed with a single-unit dwelling, and both in the R, Rural District as the result of recent annexation in to the city of Columbus. The applicant requests the AR-1, Apartment Residential District to allow a multi-unit residential development. The Rocky Fork - Blacklick Accord (2003) recommends “Multi-family” land uses, consistent with the proposed AR-1 district. While the proposed density is higher than what is recommended, Staff notes that it is comparable to neighboring multi-unit residential developments in the area and does not add incompatible uses. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #2406-2023; CV23-035) has been filed for a proposed 144-unit apartment complex, and includes a variance to reduce the required perimeter yard. The Rocky Fork - Blacklick Accord Implementation Panel recommends approval of this request.
