Rezoning Application Z16-052
APPLICANT: Polaris Retirement Living Properties, LP; c/o Stephen Lenker, Agent; ELTI, LLC; 8195 Avery Road; Dublin, OH 43017.
PROPOSED USE: Housing for the elderly.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on November 10, 2016.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single undeveloped parcel, zoned L-C-4, Limited Commercial District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will permit a 133-unit elderly housing development. The site is within the planning area of The Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Medium-High Density” for this location, which is defined as residential development at 10-16 dwelling units per acre. The CPD text proposes I, Institutional District uses, and includes development standards addressing setbacks, landscaping and screening, exterior building material commitments and elevations, and lighting controls. Variances to allow increased density from 17.4 to 22.29 units/acre and a reduction from 200 required to 102 provided parking spaces are incorporated into the request. Additionally, the proposal commits to development in accordance with the submitted plans. While the proposed density is higher than the Far North Area Plan’s recommendation for residential development, the proposal is near a primary corridor and proximate to the Polaris Shopping Center. Also, this request is compatible with the surrounding land uses and will maintain the character of the area by use of pedestrian walkways, landscaping and screening.
