Explanation
Rezoning Application Z17-045
APPLICANT: Homeport; c/o Dave Perry, Agent, David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-1) on January 11, 2017.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel zoned in the R, Rural District as a result of annexation, which is developed with a single-unit dwelling. The applicant is requesting the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District to allow development of the site with 60 dwelling units, arranged in three buildings, with a total density of 11.91 dwelling-units per acre. The site is within the planning area of Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Low-Medium Density Residential” uses for this location with a typical density of 4-6 dwelling-units per acre. Limitations incorporated in to this request include a commitment to site plans, building renderings, and development standards addressing density, site access, stream corridor protection, buffering and landscaping, and building materials. Staff finds the increased density proposed for this location supportable because the proposal is sensitive to existing natural resources and the stream corridor protection zone on site, provides sufficient buffering and setbacks between the proposed buildings and the single-unit dwellings to the north, and includes a building arrangement focused on Sunbury Road, a primary corridor. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance # 0297-2017; CV17-075) has been filed to reduce parking setback line, building line, and perimeter yard requirements.
