Rezoning Application Z20-113
APPLICANT: Peerless Development, LLC; c/o Michael Shannon, Atty.; Underhill & Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (3-1-1) on November 17, 2021.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
UNIVERSITY IMPACT DISTRICT REVIEW BOARD RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.83± acre site consists of four parcels developed with apartment buildings in the R-4, Residential District. The requested AR-3, Apartment Residential District permits multi-unit residential development. While the University District Plan’s (2015) recommendation is for “Lower Intensity Residential” uses, staff notes the existing development on site exceeds the Plan’s recommendation in terms of building typology, rear yard landscaping, parking, and floor area ratio (FAR). Additionally, the request is consistent with urban residential infill developments and will not add an incompatible use to the area. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #3139-2021; CV20-127) has been filed and includes variances to density, lot coverage, parking, front setback, building size, FAR, building height, and rear yard.
