Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-038
APPLICANT: WestBend QOZB, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Charles Campisano, Atty.;. 842 North 4th Street, Suite 200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on October 12, 2023.
WEST SCIOTO AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 50.28± acre site consists of seven parcels developed with various storage buildings and junk and salvage yards located in the M, Manufacturing District and R, Rural District. The request will rezone Area A to the AR-1, Apartment Residential District and Area B to the ARLD, Apartment Residential District. While the McKinley Avenue Corridor Plan (2002) does not have a specific recommended land use for this location, the Plan does support the reduction of vacant, underutilized and/or brownfield industrial and commercial sites in the area. The requested AR-1 and ARLD districts are consistent with existing multi-unit residential development to the north along McKinley Avenue, and meet the City’s objective to increase housing development in all areas of the city. Staff notes that an Economic Development Agreement with a Parkland Dedication has been adopted by the City which will convey between 12-17 acres for future public parkland on the site. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #2123-2024; CV22-053) has been filed to allow office uses in Area A, and includes variances to aisle, maneuvering, parking and building setbacks, required parking, and perimeter yard.
