Explanation
Rezoning Application Z25-010
APPLICANT: Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill and Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 120; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on June 12, 2025.
WEST SCIOTO AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 4.7± acre site consists of five parcels developed with single-unit dwellings in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The requested AR-1, Apartment Residential District will allow for multi-unit residential development. This proposal is a continuation of the apartment complex development directly to the east that was approved by Ordinance #3577-2024 (Z23-012) and Ordinance #3570-2024 (CV23-019), respectively. The Trabue Roberts Area Plan (2011) recommends “Neighborhood Mixed Use” land uses at this location, which includes a density recommendation of 16-45 dwelling units per acre. The proposed development is consistent with the Plan’s recommended land use and density, as well as the existing zoning and development pattern along Trabue Road and McKinley Avenue. The proposal also meets the City’s objective to provide more housing in all neighborhoods throughout Columbus. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #2291-2025; CV25-022) is included with this project, and proposes a 126-unit apartment complex with variances to conform an existing monopole, and to reduce the minimum width of parking lot screening, the required building setback line, and the width of the required perimeter yard.
