Explanation
Rezoning Application Z13-033
APPLICANT: Giuseppe (Joseph) A. Pingue; 1445 Worthington Woods Boulevard; Worthington, OH 43085.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on November 14, 2013.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow the site to be redeveloped with a maximum of 180 apartment units with a gross density of 11.83 units/acre. The site is located within Subarea C5 of the Far North Plan (1994), which is being updated, but currently recommends single and multi-unit residential uses. The Plan also includes a suggested density of eight units/acre for this subarea, and a general recommendation that natural resources be preserved, with support for higher densities being predicated upon a commitment to tree preservation. The limitation text provides development standards for total number of units, traffic-related commitments, sidewalks, street trees, one acre of tree preservation, building materials commitments, and lighting controls. The requested L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District is consistent with the existing development patterns and density in the area. The development standards within the limitation text ensure compatibility and connectivity with adjacent developments, and the one-acre tree preservation commitment protects natural resources and justifies the proposed density as recommended in the Far North Plan.
