Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z14-016
APPLICANT: Guy Williams, Jr.; c/o David L. Hodge, Atty.; Smith & Hale, LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460, Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on June 12, 2014.
FIFTH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The proposed AR-1, Apartment Residential District will allow a multiple dwelling development with a density that is similar to residential developments along Chambers Road and Chesapeake Avenue. A companion Council Variance (Ordinance No. 1593-2014; CV14-016) is also requested to reduce development standards and allow one- and two-unit carriage dwellings within a multiple dwelling development on this site and the adjacent AR-1 District to the east. The site is located within the planning area of the Fifth by Northwest Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends mixed-use development for this location, and supports carriage house development if it abides by the Plan’s density and design considerations. Given the predominance of multi-unit residential development to the north and south, and the future multi-unit residential development to the east, Staff finds this proposal to be compatible with the zoning and development pattern of the area, and with the land use recommendations of the Fifth by Northwest Neighborhood Plan.
