Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z19-100
APPLICANT: Kelley Companies; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Michael Kelley, Atty.; 175 S. Third Street, Suite 1020; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0-1) on June 11, 2020.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of nine parcels developed with one vacant apartment building in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested AR-3, Apartment Residential District will permit a new multi-unit residential development. Concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1651-2020; CV19-137) proposes a 51-unit apartment building, and includes variances to increase maximum building height and lot coverage, and to reduce building lines, vision clearance triangles, side yards, and the minimum number of required parking spaces. The site is located within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain a land use recommendation for this location. The Plan does support the development of new infill housing that contributes to a walkable and diverse neighborhood, compatible with existing architecture in the area and with the Plan’s housing design guidelines. As such, the Planning Division has reviewed building elevations for the concurrent Council variance, and has determined they are in accordance with these guidelines. The requested AR-3, Apartment Residential District will allow a multi-unit residential development that is reflective of recent urban infill developments in the area that is compatible with the surrounding residential uses.
