Explanation

Rezoning Application Z12-054

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: Approval (5-1) on May 9, 2013.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow a 44-unit apartment complex with a maximum density of 8.8 units/acre. The plan and limitation text provide development standards in consideration of the adjacent residential development, including an increased landscaped perimeter yard. The site is located within the Hilliard-Rome Road Subarea of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends very low-density residential uses for this property. However, due to the existing density and zoning pattern adjacent to this site, a balanced residential development with a preferred density of 7-8 units per acre can be supported. Staff concurs with the Planning Division and believes that this proposal is compatible with the surrounding residential development, and that when the recommendation for very low-density residential uses in the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan was established, future development of this property was undetermined.
