Explanation
Rezoning Application Z22-001
APPLICANT: Homeport; c/o Laura MacGregor Comek, Atty.; 17 South High Street, Suite 700; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-1) on January 12, 2023.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 4.17± acre site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the PUD-8, Planned Unit Development District. The site is subject to Ordinance #0132-2022 (CV21-125), passed by City Council and effective as of March 9, 2022, permitting a multi-unit residential development with up to 40 units, and conditioned on the site’s rezoning to an appropriate district within two years of the ordinance’s effective date. The requested AR-12, Apartment Residential District fulfills that condition. While the South Alum Creek Neighborhood Plan (2004) recommends “Single-Family Residential” land uses at this location, staff recognizes that the number of proposed units is consistent with the previously approved zoning at this location, and that the proposal is a continuation of the adjacent multi-unit residential development immediately north of the subject site. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #0741-2023; CV22-138) has been filed to reduce the building setback along Alum Creek Drive.
