Explanation
Rezoning Application Z14-017
APPLICANT: Preferred Real Estate Investments II, LLC; Deanna R. Cook, Attorney; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on July 10, 2014.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 5.29± acre site is currently developed with a mulch business and zoned M-2, Manufacturing District. The proposed L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District, will permit the construction of a multi-unit residential development with up to 150 units (28.4 units per acre). Companion CV14-028 is also requested to vary the required twenty-five (25) foot setback along the south boundary of the site to five (5) feet. The site is located within the boundaries of the Far North Plan (1994), which is currently under revision, and does not provide a specific land use recommendation for this parcel. Due to the transitional nature of the site, another multi-unit development approximately 300 feet to the west and significant setbacks from the existing single family development, Staff has determined this proposed is sensitive to and compatible with the surrounding development. The request will also replace more intense manufacturing zoning with a consolidated residential development that incorporates a specific site plan and development standards. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning.
