Explanation
REZONING APPLICATION # Z14-049
APPLICANT: Asherton Grove LLC, c/o Steve J. Fulkert, Architect; 677 Notchbrook Drive, Delaware, Ohio 43015.
PROPOSED USE: Single- and multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on January 8, 2015.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is partially developed with single-unit and multi-unit dwellings in the PUD-4, Planned Unit Development District which allows a maximum of 101 dwelling units at a density of 3.05 units/acre. The proposed PUD-4, Planned Unit Development District will allow the continued development of the site with different dwelling types for a total of 96 dwellings with a maximum density of 2.88 units/acre. This request represents a reduction of 5 dwelling units. The proposed PUD-4 district provides 15.9± acres of open space for 96 dwelling units, as opposed to 18.6± acres of open space for 101 dwelling units permitted under the current zoning. While the amount of proposed open space has decreased from 18.6± acres to 15.9± acres, Staff is supportive of the proposed site plan because the overall density will be reduced, and more single-unit detached dwellings are planned. Columbus City Code requires 1.32 acres of developed open space for 96 units in the PUD-4; this proposal far exceeds the code requirement by 14.58 acres. The PUD plan and notes provide customary development standards such as street trees, sidewalks, parking/towing language, and parking and garage requirements. In addition, provisions have been made for possible street connection to adjacent properties, and a conservation easement has been established for the wooded area located in the southeast section of the site. This proposal is more consistent with The Northland Plan Volume II recommendation for single-unit residential development at a maximum density of three units per acre, and with the zoning and development pattern of the area.
Title

Body
WHEREAS, application #Z14-049 is on file with the Department of Building and Zoning Services requesting rezoning of 33.37± acres from PUD-4, Planned Unit Development District, to PUD-4, Planned Unit Development District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because this proposal is more consistent with The Northland Plan Volume II recommendation for single-unit residential development at a maximum density of three units per acre, and with the zoning and development pattern of the area. The requested PUD-4, Planned Unit Development District will allow a maximum of 96 detached single- and multi-unit dwellings on private streets with a proposed gross density of 2.88 units per acre and 15.9 acres of provided open space which far exceeds the1.32 acres that is required by code; now, therefore:
