Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z23-052
APPLICANT: Thrive Companies, c/o Dave Perry; Dave Perry Company; 411 East Town Street, Floor 1; Columbus, OH 43215 and Charles Campisano; Thrive Companies; 842 North 4th Street, Suite 200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on December 14, 2023.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 10.17± acre site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The requested L-AR-2, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow a multi-unit residential development with a maximum of 353 units (34.73 dwelling units per acre), developed in accordance with the submitted site plan. While the proposed L-AR-2 district is inconsistent with the Rocky Fork - Blacklick Accord’s recommended land use of “Office”, staff notes the proposed land use and site design are generally appropriate as they are consistent with the development pattern in the area. Mitigating factors include active and open green space around the center of the development, maintaining existing as well as planting new trees, and connectivity to neighboring properties. Staff further notes that additional residential units will provide potential housing options for the job centers in the area. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1571-2024; CV23-095) is also being considered to reduce development standards for landscaping and screening, required parking, and perimeter yard.
