Explanation

 

Rezoning Application:  Z16-080

 

APPLICANT:  Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill & Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.

 

PROPOSED USE:  Mixed-use development. 

 

DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on October 12, 2017.

 

WEST SCIOTO AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:  DisaApproval.

 

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION:  Approval.  The site consists of 28.7+/- acres zoned in the M-2, Manufacturing, and R, Rural districts and is developed with a storage yard, a nonconforming mobile home park, and six single-unit dwellings on deep lots. The applicant requests the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District (10.5+/- acres) and the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District (18.2+/- acres) to permit a mixed use development.  The requested CPD district would permit unspecified commercial development at a density of 35,000 square feet of building area per acre. The requested L-AR-1 district would permit 481 units at an effective density of 26.4 units per acre. The proposal includes appropriate use restrictions and establishes supplemental development standards that address access, lighting, landscaping and screening, building materials; commitment to elevation drawings for the apartment buildings and an overall site plan; and provisions for interconnectivity. The CPD district includes variances to reduce the required number of parking spaces to be consistent with the parking requirements of the Urban Commercial Overlay and to reduce the size of parking spaces and maneuvering to accommodate internal parcel lines within the development. The proposed CPD portion lies within the boundaries of the Trabue/Roberts Plan (2011), which recommends mixed use town center development at this location. The proposed L-AR-1 portion lies within the boundaries of the McKinley Avenue Corridor Plan (2000), which recommends preservation of existing manufacturing zoning and confining new residential development within existing residential zoning. The proposed residential component is on land currently zoned manufacturing and the proposed commercial component is on land currently zoned residential. While this arrangement is not consistent with all of the Plans’ land use recommendations, Staff recognizes that the proposal’s interconnectivity still achieves the mixed use land use that is encouraged by the Trabue/Roberts Plan. Also, the removal of this manufacturing zoning reduces potential land use conflicts with existing residential uses to the east and west if new industrial development were to occur on this site.  A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance # 3117-2017; CV17-050) has been filed on Subarea 2 to permit commercial access through the L-AR-1 district, and to reduce the parking setback, landscaping and screening, and perimeter yard requirements.
