Rezoning Application Z22-095
APPLICANT: Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on March 9, 2023.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 14.55± acre site consists of three parcels each developed with a single-unit dwelling. The northern parcel is in the R, Rural District, and the southern two parcels have been annexed into the City of Columbus from Plain Township. A small portion of the western side of the site is within the flood plain. The requested AR-1, Apartment Residential District will permit redevelopment of the site with a multi-unit residential development containing up to 36.3 dwelling units per acre. Although the proposed density is higher than the Rocky Fork - Blacklick Accord (2003) land use recommendation for “Village Residential” uses at this location, Staff supports the requested district as it is consistent with neighboring multi-unit residential developments. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #3437-2023; CV22-144) is also being considered, and includes building line and perimeter yard reductions.
