Rezoning Application Z17-008
APPLICANT: Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill & Hodge LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on June 8, 2017.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District and is developed with a recently closed grocery/general store. The requested L-AR-2, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow redevelopment of the site with a maximum of 614 apartment units (36.66 units/acre). The site is within the planning area of the Northwest Plan (2016), which recommends “Mixed Use 2,” a designation that includes commercial and high-density residential uses. The proposed L-AR-2 district includes provisions for setbacks, access, perimeter landscaping, garage building façades, and lighting controls. The proposal also commits to a site plan, landscaping / open space plan, and garage building elevations. The request is compatible with the surrounding development and zoning patterns of the area, and is consistent with the land use recommendations of the Northwest Plan. The project also includes a concurrent Council variance (Ordinance # 1933-2017; CV17-020) to reduce setbacks and allow for potential lot splits.
