Rezoning Application: Z20-042
APPLICANT: Kelley Companies; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Michael Kelley, Atty.; 175 S. Third Street, Ste. 1020; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0-1) on June 11, 2020.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of twelve parcels developed with a parking lot and single-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested AR-1, Apartment Residential District will permit a new multi-unit residential development. Concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1651-2020; CV20-048) proposes a 31-unit apartment building, and includes variances for reduced parking lot landscaping and screening, parking setback, and side yards. The site is located within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain a land use recommendation for this location. The Plan does support the development of new infill housing that contributes to a walkable and diverse neighborhood that is compatible with existing architecture in the area and with the Plan’s housing design guidelines. As such, the Planning Division has reviewed building elevations for the concurrent Council variance, and has determined they are in accordance with these guidelines. The requested AR-1, Apartment Residential District will allow a multi-unit residential development that is reflective of recent urban infill developments in the area that is compatible with the surrounding residential uses.
