Rezoning Application Z24-066
APPLICANT: Somerset Place Apts, LLC, c/o Daniel Mayer, Agent; 1250 Chambers Road, Suite 250; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on June 12, 2025.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 2.43± acre site consists of one parcel developed with a daycare and apartment building in the L-C-4, Limited Commercial District, with residential parking and ground floor residential uses established by Ordinance #2614-00 (CV00-055) and Ordinance #0654-2005 (CV05-001), respectively. The requested AR-O, Apartment Office District will allow for the existing mixed-use development and new apartment units. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1863-2025; CV24-153) is included with this project, and proposes splitting the existing lot into two parcels. Tract one (east side of the site) would include a new 64-unit apartment building, and Tract 2 (west side of the site) would retain the existing mixed-use building containing a daycare center and 32 apartment units. Additional variances to allow reduced landscaping and screening, parking setback, required parking, and rear yard are included with that request. The site is within the boundaries of the Northeast Area Plan (2007), which recommends “High Density Residential” land uses at this location. Staff is supportive of the proposed density as it is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendations. Additionally, the proposal is consistent with the city’s objective of creating more housing in all areas of the city.
