Explanation
Rezoning Application Z12-043
APPLICANT: Homewood Corp.; c/o Laura MacGregor Comek, Atty.; 500 South Front Street, 12th Floor; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Single and multi-unit residentialdevelopment.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on December 13, 2012.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and zoned in the NE, Neighborhood Edge, NG, Neighborhood General, NC, Neighborhood Center, and TC, Town Center Districts. The request will reallocate the NE, NG, and NC Districts, and eliminate the TC District. The reallocation of the current Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) districts will not negatively impact the existing surroundings, and will allow the applicant to pursue their marketing and design objectives while maintaining the goals of TND. The proposed TND commits to a maximum of 508 residential units, which result in an overall increase of 41 units with a density change from 5.47 units/acre to 5.94 units/acre, and results in an increase of open space of 1.76± acres, including further protection of the area west of Rocky Fork Creek. The proposal remains consistent with the land use recommendations of the Rocky Fork/Blacklick Accord (2003), which recommends Traditional Neighborhood Development in the Neighborhood, Neighborhood Center and Neighborhood Center Commercial designations for this location. Staff is supportive of the removal of the TC District with the close proximity of commercially-zoned land to the south of the site. The proposal is compatible with the zoning and development pattern of the area, and will result in increased open space, greater protection of natural resources, and additional revenue to complete needed infrastructure projects in the area.
