Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z24-022
APPLICANT: Preferred Living, c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260, New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on July 11, 2024.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 3.00± acre site consists of the western portions of two parcels, each developed with a single-unit dwelling. The proposed L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow the second phase of an existing multi-unit residential development to the south, consisting of a maximum of 48 units. The Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord (2003) recommends “Village Residential” at this site with a density of one unit/acre with a bonus density of two units/acre at this location. Although the proposed density exceeds the Accord’s recommendation, staff notes that the density is comparable to other existing multi-unit residential developments in the area. The Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord Implementation Panel unanimously recommended approval of this request at their June 20, 2024 meeting. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #2770-2024; CV24-064) has been filed to reduce the minimum lot area for the residual single-unit parcels in the R, Rural District to less than five acres.
