Rezoning Application Z16-016
APPLICANT: Edwards Communities Development Company; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; Smith and Hale LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial and multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on September 8, 2016.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow neighborhood commercial and office development on 3.56± net acres, and the requested L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow a maximum of 550 units on 24.6± net acres with 4.5 acres of open space. The site falls within the boundaries of the Interim Hayden Run Corridor Plan (2004), which recommends office uses for this location. The Plan also includes recommended design standards for parking lot placement and signage. Planning Division staff recognizes that multi-unit residential uses may be appropriate if integrated into an overall site plan demonstrating a compatible mix of uses that includes offices, useable open space, and interconnectivity. The proposed CPD district includes a minimum of 10,000 square feet of office space, limits parking along the Avery frontage, and commits to Regional Commercial Overlay graphics provisions. The proposed L-AR-1 district includes density and building height limitations, open space areas, and building materials commitments. Both districts propose interconnectivity between each other and adjacent properties. The project also includes a concurrent Council variance (ORD No. 3113-2016; CV16-018) to permit self-storage use, commercial access, no frontage on a public street for future lot splits, and reductions to building lines and perimeter yard requirements.
