Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-011
APPLICANT: Preferred Real Estate Investments, LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Esq; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-1) on May 11, 2017.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. The site consists of three parcels, two containing single-unit dwellings and zoned in the R-1, Residential District, the other containing an eating and drinking establishment with a drive-through / carry out zoned CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The proposed L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District will allow a 128-unit apartment complex. Limitations within the district include use restrictions, setback requirements, building height limitations, landscaping provisions, and lighting controls. A site plan is also being committed to with additional landscaping along the north, south, and west property lines. The site falls within the boundaries of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends “Commercial (Neighborhood)” land uses for this location. Multi-unit residential development is not included within the neighborhood commercial designation’s supported uses. Planning Division staff does not believe that deviation from the Plan’s land use recommendation is warranted on the subject site. The project also includes a concurrent Council variance (ORD # 1885-2017; CV16-057) to permit a reduced perimeter yard along the southern commercial properties.
