Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z24-057
APPLICANT: Vision Development, c/o Pete LaRose, Agent; 3300 Riverside Drive, Suite 100; Columbus, OH 43221, and David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 120; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on December 12, 2024.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 17.2± acre site consists of one parcel developed with an office park in the L-C-2, Limited Commercial and L-C-4, Limited Commercial districts. The requested AR-O, Apartment Office District, proposed as Subarea 1 and Subarea 2, will allow a mixed-use development. While there is no Council adopted land use plan at this location, Staff support the proposed AR-O district to enable redevelopment of most of the site with multi-unit residential development, while also retaining an existing office building. The proposal is consistent with the City’s objective to provide more housing, while also preserving office uses for employment opportunities for these new residents. Additionally, the applicant proposes a lot split to separate Subareas 1 and 2 as individual parcels. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #0257-2025; CV24-139) has been filed requesting reduced development standards for a mixed-use development as depicted on the site plan included with that ordinance.
