Explanation
Rezoning Application Z19-006
APPLICANT: Wilcox Communities LLC; c/o; Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development and a self-storage facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on May 9, 2019.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel developed with several single-unit dwellings zoned in the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District. The applicant proposes the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential and L-M, Limited Manufacturing districts to permit an apartment complex with a density of 18.31 units/acre (Subarea 1) and a self-storage facility (Subarea 2). The limitation text establishes supplemental development standards that address density, access, sidewalks, landscaping, tree preservation, building design, and lighting controls, and includes site plan and building elevation commitments. The site is within the planning area of the Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends medium density residential uses at this location for properties that are consolidated into one development area as is the case for this site. Although the proposed L-M, Limited Manufacturing District is not consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, staff notes that this subarea is located along a rail corridor and provides screening from the proposed residential to the east. Both proposals contain development standards that ensure compatibility and connectivity with adjacent developments. The commitment to preserve existing trees further justifies the proposed density in the L-AR-1 district and compliments the adjacent multi-unit residential developments.
