Explanation
Rezoning Application Z14-059
APPLICANT: Metro Development, LLC; c/o Jill Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on July 14, 2016.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This 61.23-acre site is undeveloped and has been zoned in the R, Rural District since annexation in 2015. The applicant requests the PUD-6, Planned Unit Development District, which consists of four subareas. Subarea A permits 180 apartment units on 20.1 acres for a density of 8.96 units per acre. Subarea B permits 82 single-unit dwellings on 24.98 acres for a density of 3.28 units per acre. Subarea C is 3.59 acres and will consist of a stream corridor protection zone and tree preservation area. Subarea D permits 48 single-unit dwellings on 12.57 acres for a density of 3.82 units/acre. A total of 16.74 acres of preserved open space is provided in this PUD-6 district, which is almost three times greater than the code requirement. The PUD text and site plans provide density limitations, use restrictions, and supplemental development standards addressing access, landscaping and screening, street trees, sidewalks, garages, building materials, and Pay As We Grow commitments. The site lies within the Little Turtle District of the Northland Plan II (2002). Single-unit residential development at three units/acre maximum (low-density cluster or conservation-type subdivisions) is the preferred land-use for this district. The Plan also recommends preservation of natural features and that land uses and development standards recommended by the Rocky Fork/Blacklick Accord (2003) be considered for proposals contiguous to that planning area. The Planning Division of the Department of Development has determined that deviation from the land use and density recommendations of the Northland Plan II is warranted noting that the proposed density of Subarea A is compatible with the adjacent multi-unit development to the east which is consistent with the recommendations of the Rocky Fork/Blacklick Accord; and because the proposed density of Subareas B and D are consistent with the density of the adjacent residential development to the south. Staff notes that more than 25% of the site is preserved as open space including a stream corridor and stand of trees which is consistent with the Plans’ recommendation to preserve natural features; and the site’s Ulry Road frontage contains open space and increased setbacks in consideration of lower density residential uses on the west side of Ulry Road in Blendon Township. Staff recognizes this request as compatible with adjacent zoning and development patterns and considers the proposed density a good transition from the lower density single-unit residential development to the west and the higher density multi-unit residential development to the east.
Title
To rezone 5830 ULRY ROAD (43081), being 61.23± acres located at the southeast corner of Ulry and Warner Roads, From: R, Rural, District, To: PUD-6, Planned Unit Development District (Rezoning # Z14-059).
Body
WHEREAS, application No. Z14-059 is on file with the Department of Building and Zoning Services requesting rezoning of 61.23± acres from R, Rural, District, to the PUD-6, Planned Unit Development District; and to declare an emergency.
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends disapproval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the proposed PUD-6 developments are compatible with the adjacent developments to the east and south. The proposal preserves natural features, with increased setbacks and open space along the Ulry Road frontage and over 25 % of the total site area as open space, further minimizing impacts to the west side of Ulry Road. Staff believes this request is compatible with adjacent zoning and development patterns in the area, and considers the proposed density a good transition from the lower density single-unit residential development to the west and the higher density multi-unit residential development to the east; WHEREAS, an emergency exists in the usual daily operation in the City of Columbus in that it is immediately necessary to pass this ordinance to begin construction as soon as possible for the immediate preservation of the public peace, property, health and safety; now, therefore,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:
