Explanation
Rezoning Application Z13-001
APPLICANT: Tom Bell Properties; c/o Michael T. Shannon, Atty.; Crabbe, Brown & James, LLP; 500 South Front Street, Suite 1200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval (1-4) on April 11, 2013.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow a 41 38-unit apartment complex. The plan and limitation text include development standards in consideration of the adjacent residential development. The site is located within Subarea J5 of The Far North Plan (1994), which is currently undergoing update. Current recommendations include supporting a mixture of single- and multi-unit residential development as the most appropriate land use for the subarea. Additional provisions include preserving the wooded land that is located in the subarea, and projects fitting the scale of the community. The Planning Division supports the use and proposed density of the project, but does not feel that enough emphasis has been given to the tree stand in the western portion of the site. The Zoning Staff believes that the 0.8-acre perimeter yard area dedicated to tree preservation is sufficient, and will also aid in buffering and screening the adjacent single-unit residential development to the north. Staff has determined that this proposal complies with the recommendations of The Far North Plan.
