Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z17-025
APPLICANT: Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-2) on November 9, 2017.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, which is developed with an office condominium complex. The applicant is requesting the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District to permit the development of a 72-unit apartment complex (29.6 units per acre). District limitations include use restrictions and commitments to density, setbacks, traffic access, buffering and landscaping, building materials, and lighting controls. Site plans are also being committed to with additional landscaping along the south and west property lines. The site is within the planning area of The Northwest Plan (2016), which recommends “Mixed Use I,” a predominantly commercial designation with residential uses supported at this location. Given the increased development standards included in this request and the location of the site adjacent to commercial development, staff finds the proposal, despite the slightly higher than recommended density (24 units per acre), to be consistent with the land use recommendations of the Plan and compatible with existing development in the area. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance # 0265-2018; CV17-049) has been filed to reduce building line and perimeter yard requirements.
