Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z15-016
APPLICANT: Connie J. Klema; 145 East Rich Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on June 11, 2015.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is comprised of an undeveloped lot zoned in the R-4, Residential District, and a lot developed with a former church zoned in the M-2, Manufacturing District. The proposed AR-2, Apartment Residential District, in conjunction with companion Council variance CV15-019 (Ordinance No. 1863-2015), will permit conversion of the former church building for apartments and new multi-unit residential development. While the Italian Village East Redevelopment Plan (2000) recommends lower density residential uses for the site, this proposal will allow a former historic church to be reused as an apartment building and a vacant lot to be utilized in a manner consistent with an emerging pattern of development in the area. The requested AR-2 district will allow development that is consistent with recent infill development projects in historic urban areas.
