Rezoning Application: Z23-059
APPLICANT: Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill and Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.

DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on November 9, 2023.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, one of which is developed with an office building.

A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #3429-2023; CV23-119) has been filed for a proposed 204-unit apartment complex, and includes a variance to the perimeter yard.
