Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z15-034
APPLICANT: M/I Homes of Central Ohio; c/o Laura MacGregor Comek, Atty.; 300 East Broad Street, Suite 450; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Single- and multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on October 8, 2015.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and zoned in the NE, Neighborhood Edge, NG, Neighborhood General, and NC, Neighborhood Center Districts. This request will reallocate the zoning districts with an increase in land zoned in theNE, Neighborhood Edge District, and decreases land zoned in the NG, Neighborhood General, and NC, Neighborhood Center Districts. 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 482 residential units, which results in an overall decrease of 26 units with a density change from 5.94 units/acre to 5.64 units/acre, and an increase of open space of 0.24± acres for a total of 22.6± acres. The proposal remains consistent with the land use recommendations of the Rocky Fork/Blacklick Accord (2003), for Traditional Neighborhood Development, and is compatible with the zoning and development patterns of the area. The Rocky Fork - Blacklick Accord Panel recommended approval of this request at their August 20, 2015 meeting. Concurrent Council variance Ordinance No. 0377-2016 (CV15-039) is also under consideration to vary some of the development standards of the proposed TND districts, including the administative requirement to permit more than fifty percent of the acreage of the TND project area to be in the NE, Neighborhood Edge District.
