Explanation
Rezoning Application Z10-016
APPLICANT: Preferred Real Estate Investments II, LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Apartment complex.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on September 9, 2010.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. The requested L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow a maximum of 186 apartment units at a density of 25.83 units per acre, substantially higher than what is permitted in the surrounding PUD-8 Districts and the adjacent elderly housing/assisted living facility. The limitation text includes commitments to a site plan and elevation drawings, applicable Northland Development Standards (1992), maximum lot coverage of 68%, landscaping, screening, tree preservation, exterior building materials, and lighting controls. The site is located within the planning area of The Northland Plan Volume II (2002), which encourages single-unit residential development east of Hamilton Road and south of East Dublin-Granville Road. The Plan also encourages preservation of existing tree stands, wetlands, and other natural areas through sensitive site design. Staff supports multi-unit residential development as a transitional use between the institutional use to the west and the adjacent single-unit residential development, but prefers a lower density that is more consistent with the surrounding developments.
