Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z24-054
APPLICANT: Kareem Amr; 243 North 5th Street, Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on January 9, 2024.
SOUTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 1.1± acre site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the R-1, Residential District. The applicant requests the ARLD, Apartment Residential District to allow for multi-unit residential development with a maximum density of 17.4 dwelling units per acre. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Southwest Area Plan (2009), which recommends “Medium Low Density Residential” land uses at this location. The site is also subject to early adoption of Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The requested ARLD district will allow a multi-unit residential development that is compatible with the existing density and development pattern of adjacent residential developments, and is consistent with the Southwest Area Plan’s land use recommendation. Staff notes the neighboring parcel to the south is already zoned in the ARLD, Apartment Residential District, and will be incorporated with this property as part of an overall development, further warranting support for the proposed district.
