Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z17-054
APPLICANT: Edwards Communities Development Company; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Residential uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on May 10, 2018.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a driving range and is zoned in the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District. The applicant proposes to rezone the site to PUD-6, Planned Unit Development District to allow for residential uses. The site will consist of 40 unplatted dwelling units with private streets and 0.88± acres of provided open space on 8.86± acres (4.5± units/acre). The development text commits to a site plan and includes provisions for maximum number of dwellings, minimum setbacks and building separation, access, landscaping, garages, building materials, and lighting. The site is within the planning area of the Interim Hayden Run Corridor Plan (2004), which recommends “Office” land uses for this location. The site currently permits a multi-unit residential development, and the proposed use is lower in intensity. Planning Division staff recognizes that residential uses are appropriate when integrated into an overall site plan demonstrating a compatible mix of uses that includes useable open space and interconnectivity. This proposal maintains connectivity with adjacent commercial and residential properties, offers more open space, and is compatible with the density and development standards of adjacent residential uses.
