Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-043
APPLICANT: NRP Properties, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on May 11, 2023.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 2.01± acre site consists of one parcel developed with an eating and drinking establishment in the M, Manufacturing District. Ordinance #2000-2022 (CV22-024) has been approved for a mixed-use development containing up to 80 apartment units and 6,000 square feet of commercial space at this site. Staff supported the Council variance to assist in the state funding application process, subject to the filing of a rezoning application to an appropriate zoning district. The requested AR-1, Apartment Residential district will permit multi-unit residential development consistent with the Council variance approved by City Council. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #2018-2023; CV23-025) has been filed to permit 6,250 square feet of commercial space, and contains variances to vision clearance, reduced building setback, and a parking space reduction from 111 to 110 provided spaces. Although the Scioto Southland Plan (2007), the area plan that encompasses the subject site, recommends “Commercial” land uses at this location, staff recognizes the site’s proximity to the South High Street primary corridor and adjacent residential uses. With the introduction of a commercial component as proposed with concurrent CV23-025, the proposed use is more consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation.
