Explanation

Rezoning Application Z11-007

APPLICANT: Northstar Realty and Edwards Development Companies; c/o Michael T. Shannon, Atty.; Crabbe, Brown & James LLP; 500 South Front Street, Suite 1200; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Commercial and multi-unit dwellings.

DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on June 9, 2011.

FIFTH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.Approval The rezoning to the C-4, Commercial District along Olentangy River Road represents a down zoning of the site from the M, Manufacturing District. The requested L-AR-O, Limited Apartment Residential District is laid out so that the proposed parking will provide some buffering between the dwelling units and the fire station and Railroad. The introduction of dwellings at the site that will be in close proximity to existing restaurants and offices provides for a mix of uses within walking distance. The proposal is consistent with the Fifth by Northwest Neighborhood Plan (2009), zoning and development patterns of the area. , however due to the Division of Planning and Operations' recommendation of disapproval for the needed setback variances along Third Avenue, this site plan cannot be built unless Council approves the concurrent Council variance request over the Public Service Division's objections. Staff would suggest the applicant continue working with the Division of Planning and Operations to revise the proposed site plan to either reduce or eliminate the need for setback variances along Third Avenue, at which time Staff will reconsider our position.
