Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z16-073
APPLICANT: Pickett Companies; 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, and monopole telecommunications tower.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on March 9, 2017.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.98± acre site is comprised of a single parcel developed with a parking lot and monopole communication antenna in the M, Manufacturing District. The applicant proposes the AR-2, Apartment Residential District to develop the site with a 40-unit apartment complex. The site is located within the boundaries of the Harrison West Plan (2005), which recommends “Office/Commercial” land uses for this location. Though the proposal is not consistent with the land use recommendations of the Plan, staff recognizes that current market conditions and trends in Harrison West support residential development, and therefore supports the proposal as it is consistent with and enhances the neighborhood character. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance # 1948-2017; CV16-073) has been filed to permit the existing monopole telecommunication antenna on the site and to reduce requirements for height district, minimum number of parking spaces, building lines, and perimeter yard.
