Rezoning Application Z15-010
APPLICANT: Bell Properties, Ltd.; c/o Michael T. Shannon and Eric L. Zartman, Attys.; 500 South Front Street, Suite 1200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on September 8, 2016.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is the rear undeveloped portion of a parcel developed with a church zoned in the R, Rural District. The requested L-R-2F, Limited Residential District, will allow a two-unit dwelling development containing 46 units which will be accessed from Garrett Street. The site is within the planning area of The Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends institutional uses for this location. The Plan states that redevelopment of existing institutional land uses should be compatible with surrounding development, and expansion should make efficient use of site areas and minimize disruption of sensitive natural resources. The Plan also recommends tree preservation, open space, and connectivity. The limitation text commits to a site plan (subdivision plat), and provides development standards for total number of units, dwelling size, height limit, access, landscaping, screening, tree preservation, connectivity to the north, and building materials commitments. The proposed development is consistent with the recommendations of The Far North Area Plan for comparable residential density, connectivity, and tree preservation. The project also includes companion Council Variance No. CV16-0483 (ORD No. 2441-2016) to allow a reduced maximum side yard of 10 feet per lot.
