PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
WEST SCIOTO AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: DisaApproval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance # 3116-2017; Z16-080) to the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District to allow up to 481 dwelling units. Variances are requested to permit commercial vehicular access through the site which is prohibited in residential districts, and to reduce parking lot landscaping and screening, parking-related standards, setbacks, and perimeter yard. Staff finds the requested variances to be supportable as they will achieve the desired mixed-use, interconnected neighborhood with the adjacent CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, as recommended by the adjoining Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011). The request will allow a multi-unit residential development with desirable site design elements as they apply to interconnectivity, building orientation, placement of parking, and incorporation of open space that were negotiated with Rezoning Application # Z16-080.
