Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-017
APPLICANT: Parsons Parc II LLC; c/o David Hodge, Atty; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed use commercial and apartment residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on May 16, 2016.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is currently undeveloped and is zoned in the ARLD, Apartment Residential District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, would permit a building with commercial development and parking on the first floor with 78 apartment units on the second and third floors in accordance with a site plan and elevation drawings. The site is located within the boundaries of the Parsons Avenue/Olde Towne Quarter Urban Commercial Overlay and the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends higher-density residential or mixed use development for this location. The Plan does not include a recommended density for this use classification, but does identify Parsons Avenue as an important commercial node, and specifically suggests a mixed-use building of 3-4 stories for this site. This site is also a key focal point of the Olde Towne Quarter Economic Development Strategy (2010), which recommends neighborhood-scale mixed use. This classification includes commercial development at a typical intensity of 20,000± square feet per acre with residential units located above it at a density of approximately 16-45 units per acre. The proposal is consistent with both the Plan and Strategy land use and design recommendations. The applicant has filed a concurrent Council Variance (ORD # 1886-2016; CV16-017) to allow four ADA-accessible residential units on the ground floor in the proposed CPD district.
