Explanation
REZONING APPLICATION: Z03-034
APPLICANT: Creative Housing, Inc.; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; 145 East Rich Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-family residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on September 11, 2003.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant requests the PUD-8, Planned Unit Development District to develop two four-unit dwellings at a density of 6.36 units per acre to provide housing for the developmentally disabled. The PUD-8 plan preserves some existing trees, provides a privacy fence adjacent to the existing carwash, shade trees north of the parking lot, screening along the east property line that will incorporate a split rail fence, shade trees and deciduous shrubs, lighting restrictions and a reduced parking standard for the number of required parking spaces because anticipated residents typically do not own or drive cars. The proposed multi-family residential development provides an appropriate transition from unrestricted C-5, Commercial development to single-family development and is less intense than uses allowed by the current unrestricted C-5, Commercial District, and is consistent with buffering and tree preservation recommendations of the Northland Plan, Volume I (2001).
