Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-085
APPLICANT: Fatih Gunal; c/o Frank Long, Agent; Hockaden & Associates, Inc.; 883 North Cassady Avenue; Columbus OH 43219.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on March 9, 2017.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling, and is zoned in the R-Rural District. The requested L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow a multi-unit residential development consisting of a maximum of 36 units (11.88 du/acre). This parcel will likely be incorporated into a larger development with properties to the north and west of the site, also zoned in the L-AR-12 district. The limitation text includes commitments for density, vehicular access, an internal pedestrian sidewalk system, and building design. The site is within the boundaries of the Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends very low residential density uses at this site. However, the Plan specifically notes that if this parcel and parcels immediately adjacent are assembled for redevelopment, then “Medium Density” residential development is supportable with compatible design standards. The request meets this provision of the Plan’s land use recommendation, and compliments the existing adjacent multi-unit residential developments.
Title

Body
WHEREAS, application # Z16-085 is on file with the Department of Building and Zoning Services requesting rezoning of 3.03± acres from R, Rural District, to L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the requested L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow the applicant to develop a multi-unit residential development with a maximum of 36 units which is both consistent with the land use recommendation for this site in the Far North Area Plan, and compatible with the adjacent multi-unit residential development; now, therefore:
