Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-071
APPLICANT: Lifestyle Communities, Ltd.; c/o Michael T. Shannon, Atty.; 500 South Front Street, Suite 1200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-1) on January 12, 2017.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is comprised of a vacant single-unit dwelling and undeveloped land zoned in the PUD-8, Planned Unit Development District. The requested PUD-8, Planned Unit Development District will allow a 124-unit residential development (7.94 units/acre) on one lot. The existing PUD text also permits 124 units, but on individual lots. The requested PUD has an increase in the amount of open space provided from 4.8± acres to 7.3± acres. The development text carries over commitments for building setbacks, access and street details, street trees, sidewalks, maximum building height, garage requirements, landscaping and buffering, building materials commitments, and Pay as We Grow and parkland dedication ordinance obligations. The site is located within the boundaries of the Preserve District of the Northland Plan: Volume II (2002), which recommends that the current residential pattern of development east of Hamilton Road, south of Old Dublin-Granville Road be continued, with single-unit residential development encouraged, and that existing land-use and zoning patterns be taken into consideration when decisions are made regarding zoning changes. The request remains compatible with the density and development standards of adjacent residential developments, and incorporates natural resources with increased open space.
