Explanation
Rezoning Application Z08-066
APPLICANT: Cooper Lakes II, LLC & JWG2 Investments I, LLC; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-family residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-1) on March 12, 2009.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a 240-unit apartment complex zoned in the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District (Z95-007). The applicant requests the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District to construct two new apartment buildings allowing for an increase of 16 multi-family units. The proposed limitation text commits to a landscaping plan for the construction site and includes commitments from the current L-AR-12 District. The site is located within the boundaries of Subarea 28 the Northland Plan: Volume I (2001), which discourages additional multi-family development. The Plan also recommends that infill development be compatible with surrounding development and that new developments adhere to the Northland Development Standards (1992). The location of the proposed apartment buildings is adjacent to and shares access with existing single-family dwellings. Since additional commitments are included in the limitation text for landscaping, parking and building setbacks that adequately address compatibility issues, Staff believes the increase in density is negligible. The requested L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District contains limitations to address the Northland Development Standards (1992), and is compatible with the zoning and development patterns of the area.
