Rezoning Application Z16-001
APPLICANT: Maronda Homes, Inc. of Ohio; c/o Christopher Jones or Paul T. Saba, Attys.; Stagnaro, Saba & Patterson, Co., L.P.A.; 2623 Erie Ave.; Cincinnati, OH 45208.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on April 14, 2016.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two undeveloped parcels currently zoned L-R-2, Limited Residential District (Ordinance No. 2024-2004; Z04-029). The requested L-R-2, Limited Residential District allows the applicant to change certain aspects of the limitation text from the current zoning. These changes include a decrease in the number of lots from eighty-nine (89) to seventy-nine (79) that equates to a gross density of 4.36 lots per acre, increased open space from 1.46± acres to 1.88± acres in two separate reserve areas, and a reduced buffer along the northern property line from twenty-two (22) feet to fifteen (15) feet. Staff supports this request because it represents a decrease in density, an increase in open space, and because the proposed reduced setback is negligible.
