Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-077
APPLICANT: Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill & Hodge LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on March 9, 2017.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a church zoned in the R, Rural District. The proposed L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow 144 apartment units. The site falls within the boundaries of the Interim Hayden Run Corridor Plan (2004), which recommends institutional uses for this location based on the site being identified as an existing public facility. Planning Division staff recognizes that multi-unit residential uses may be appropriate if integrated into an overall site plan demonstrating useable open space as an organizing element with buffering and building height limitations as a transition to adjacent developments. The proposed L-AR-1 district includes use restrictions, setback requirements, building height limitations, landscaping provisions, and lighting controls. The proposal also includes a site plan depicting open space locations and landscaping details. The request is consistent with the recent development pattern along Avery Road with the establishment of L-AR-1 districts immediately north of this site. The project also includes a concurrent Council variance (ORD No. 1377-2017; CV17-014) to reduce building and parking setbacks.
