Explanation
Zoning Application: Z16-008
APPLICANT: 1341 Norton Partners LLC; c/o David Perry, David Perry Company, Inc., Agent; 145 East Rich Street, 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 145 East Rich Street, FL 3; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on April 14, 2016.
FIFTH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 2.82± acre site consists of a property zoned M, Manufacturing District developed with an industrial building. The applicant is requesting the AR-3, Apartment Residential District to allow multi-unit residential development. The site is located within the planning area of the 5th by Northwest Area Plan (2009), which recommends “Industrial (Light)” uses, and intends that this area be developed as a job center. Although the proposal is inconsistent with recommended industrial use, the proposal will permit multi-unit residential development within an area that has been experiencing increased residential development. Staff finds that the proposed AR-3, Apartment Residential District is compatible with adjacent apartment residential and light industrial office uses. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance No. 1821-2016 (CV16-011)) has been filed to request variances to landscaping and screening, parking setback line, minimum number of parking spaces required, building lines, and rear yard requirements.
