Rezoning Application Z23-049
APPLICANT: Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill and Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on October 12, 2023.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 2.07± acre site is comprised of one parcel developed with an office and conference center in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The requested AR-1, Apartment Residential District allows multi-unit residential uses.

Additionally, staff recognizes that the request does not add an incompatible use to the area and aligns with the City’s objective of including more housing. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #3007-2023; CV23-088) has been requested and includes variances to building and parking setbacks, perimeter yard, and parking space size for 69-unit apartment complex.
