Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z16-069
APPLICANT: The Laurels of West Columbus Real Estate, LLC; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 423 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Nursing home and multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on August 10, 2017.
WESTLAND AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow a nursing home on 12.75± acres, and the requested L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District will conform the development standards of an existing multi-unit residential development on the balance of the site. The CPD text commits to a site plan and provides commitments for building and parking setbacks, vehicular access, parking restrictions, right-of-way dedication, landscaping and buffering, graphics, building materials, and lighting. Variances to reduce the required rear yard and minimum setbacks in the proposed CPD district are included in this request. The site is located within the boundaries of the Westland Area Plan (1994), which recommends “Residential (3-5 du/AC)” and “Open Space / Park / Buffer” land uses for this location. Despite the Plan’s land use recommendation, the proposed uses are compatible with the existing zoning, and the surrounding area is mostly comprised of multi-unit residential development and medium-density single-unit residential development. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance # 2234-2017; CV17-047) has been filed to vary perimeter setback requirements along the east property line for the existing multi-unit residential development and to permit maneuvering across property lines for parking spaces.
