Explanation
Rezoning Application Z04-075
APPLICANT: Portrait Homes-Ohio, Inc.; c/o David B. Perry, Agent; The Dave Perry Company; 145 East Rich Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215; and Donald T. Plank, Atty.; Plank and Brahm; 145 East Rich Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-family residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (7-0) on December 9, 2004.
WESTLAND AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant requests the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District to allow an 80-unit multi-family residential development at a proposed density of 7.3 units per acre. The limitation text establishes development standards in consideration of the adjacent single-family residential development to the west, and contains measures to protect and preserve the historic Postle Cemetery located on the eastern portion of the site. Although The Westland Plan (1994), recommends office uses for a portion of the site, a deviation from the Plan recommendation is warranted because a majority of the site is already zoned in a high density multi-family residential district, and the established development pattern in this area is residential in nature. This rezoning proposal will replace unrestricted commercial and high density multi-family zoning districts with a low density multi-family zoning district that contains commitments to protect the cemetery, buffering, landscaping, and open space preservation that otherwise would not exist. Staff recognizes multi-family residential development as an appropriate land use at this location because the requested L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District is consistent with the zoning and development patterns of the area.
