Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z24-015
APPLICANT: Perennial Housing Partners LLC, c/o Rebecca Mott, Atty.; 411 E. Town Street, Floor 2; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on July 11, 2024.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 2.49± acre site consists of one parcel developed with an extended stay hotel in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The proposed L-AR-O, Limited Apartment Office District will allow conversion of the extended stay hotel into a multi-unit residential development. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Far North Area Plan (2014) which recommends “Employment Center” land uses at this location. Although inconsistent with this recommendation, Planning Division staff notes the proposal’s reuse of the site, the site’s adjacency to existing multi-unit residential development and hotel uses, and jobs within close proximity for the future tenants as mitigating factors, and thus do not consider the use to be incompatible with the recent development pattern of the area. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #2367-2024; CV24-043) has been filed to reduce requirements for drive aisle width, driveway width, maneuvering area, parking lot shade trees, minimum number of parking spaces, and perimeter yard for a 99-unit development, mainly for existing site conditions.
