Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z17-015
APPLICANT: 14th Hole Development, LLC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-1) on August 10, 2017.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and zoned in the PUD-2, Planned Unit Development District permitting three single-unit dwellings at a net density of 0.78 units/acre. The requested PUD-4, Planned Unit Development District will permit fourteen attached dwelling units, arranged in two buildings containing four units each and one building containing six units, with a net density of 3.62 units/acre and with 0.28 acres of provided open space. The development text includes commitments for the number of dwelling units and their arrangement on-site, first floor minimum net floor areas, garage requirements, building materials, building setbacks, landscaping, tree/vegetation preservation, and a commitment to a plan and elevation drawings. Variances to reduce the building setback for a guardhouse/monument feature and golf cart garages and perimeter yard adjacent to a private golf course are included in the request. The site lies within the planning area of the Broad-Blacklick Area Plan (2011), which recommends open space for this location. Although the Plan calls for open space, staff recognizes that the site was already zoned for residential development and was privately owned prior to the Plan’s adoption. The development text and site plan submitted are sensitive to the existing natural resources of the site, provide alternatives to private automobiles for transportation, include elevation drawings that are generally consistent with the Plan’s design guidelines, and are compatible with surrounding land uses.
