Rezoning Application Z14-055
APPLICANT: Giuseppe Holdings LLC, c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; Smith & Hale LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on May 11, 2017.
WESTLAND AREA COMMISSION RECOMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and zoned CPD, Commercial Planned Development District (Z00-065), which allows limited C-4 and C-5 uses. The requested L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District will permit a multi-unit residential development with a maximum of 178 units (13.28 units/acre). The site is located within the boundaries of the Westland Area Plan (1994), which recommends low density residential development (3-5 du/acres) and cluster subdivision design. The Plan also recommends apartment complexes to be linked by a system of paths and sidewalks. The Planning Division recognizes the site’s existing CPD zoning, and supports multi-unit residential development with a plan that reflects open space, additional landscaping and trees in the open space areas, and connections between the internal sidewalk and public sidewalk systems. The limitation text includes landscaping provisions, site amenities, and an internal sidewalk system with pedestrian connections to the public sidewalk system. The proposal also includes a commitment to a site plan depicting building and open space locations and landscaping details.
