Explanation
Rezoning Application Z15-051
APPLICANT: Snyder Baker Acquisitions, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 145 East Rich Street, 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 145 East Rich Street, 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (3-0-1) on January 14, 2016.
5TH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (7-0) on January 5, 2016.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 1.1± site consists of seven parcels zoned in the R-4, Residential District. The site is developed with five two-unit dwellings and one four-unit dwelling. The applicant proposes the AR-3, Apartment Residential District to allow the redevelopment of the site with an apartment building to consist of no more than sixty-six (66) dwelling units. This site is located within the boundaries of the Fifth by Northwest Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends medium density mixed residential uses for this location. Redevelopment in the medium density mixed residential areas must demonstrate that it will not adversely impact the existing nature of the area and be consistent with residential design guidelines set forth in the neighborhood plan. Given the existing presence of multifamily residential uses to the south, west and east of the property, and its proximity to Grandview Avenue, Staff finds the proposed use and zoning to be compatible with the established development pattern of the area. A companion Council Variance (CV15-069) has been filed to vary building height, maneuvering, parking space, landscaping and screening, building coverage, building lines, and rear yard standards.
