Explanation
Rezoning Application Z12-052
APPLICANT: Metro Development LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Hotel development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0-1) on March 14, 2013.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. Given the expansion of State Route 161 over the years, single-unit development is not realistic any longer at this location. The proposal is consistent with land uses in the area due to the presence of multi-family development to the east across Big Walnut Creek. The applicant is providing a substantial buffer and prohibiting windows along the south property line to help alleviate the proposed developments impact on the existing single-unit dwelling south of this site. Given that and the applicant’s substantial conformance with development standards for apartment complexes in Apartment Residential Districts, Staff supports the proposed land use on this site.
