Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-002
APPLICANT: Akidel Investment Company, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on December 8, 2016.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel zoned C-2, Commercial District, and L-C-3, Limited Commercial District, and is developed with a shared driveway for an adjacent commercial use. The applicant is requesting the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District to permit a multi-unit residential development, consisting of two subareas. Subarea A will contain a maximum of 18 units while Subarea B will be exclusively open space. The site lies within the boundaries of The Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends community commercial uses for this location. While the proposed use is not consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, Staff recognizes site constraints make commercial development at this location unlikely, and supports deviation noting that the site directly abuts multi-unit residential development. Given the commitment to permit only open space in Subarea B, thus maintaining the integrity of the stream corridor protection zone and allowing for significant preservation of the natural resources on the site, Staff can support the proposed development. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance # 1359-2017; CV16-002) has been filed to allow vehicular access for commercial uses and a reduced perimeter yard along the south and west property lines.
