Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-075
APPLICANT: The Griff, LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Apartment building.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0-1)) on May 11, 2017.
FIFTH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel zoned in the M, Manufacturing District, and developed with an extended stay hotel that has been rendered non-conforming by a recent zoning code change. The applicant is requesting the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District to convert the existing structure into an apartment building containing a total of 288 units (36.23 units per acre). Commitments in the limitation text include building and parking setbacks, building height, vehicle access, distribution of bicycle parking across the site, and parkland dedication. The site is within the planning area of the Fifth by Northwest Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends office uses at this location. Staff recognizes that the proposed use and existing zoning are not consistant with the land use recommendation of the Plan, but the development is already in existence and is adjacent to several other existing multi-unit residential developments to the south and west. Therefore Staff finds the proposed L-AR-1 district to be compatible with the existing use of the site and adjacent properties. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance # 1697-2017; CV16-074) has been filed to reduce the required side and rear yards to reflect as-built conditions.
