Rezoning Application Z17-001
APPLICANT: National Church Residences; c/o Scott North, Atty.; 41 South High Street, Suite 2900; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on April 13, 2017.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling zoned in the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District. The applicant is requesting the ARLD, Apartment Residential District for a multi-unit residential development with a maximum density of 17.4 du/acre. The site is within the planning area of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends medium-high density residential land uses for this location at 10-16 du/acre. Staff finds the proposed use and zoning to be consistent with the Northland I Area Plan and comparable with the land use and density of surrounding developments along Maple Canyon Avenue. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance # 1223-2017; CV17-004) has been filed to reduce the minimum number of required parking spaces for a supportive housing apartment development.
