Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z18-004
APPLICANT: Metro Development LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential and extended-stay hotel developments.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (7-0) on April 13, 2018.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with multi-unit residential and extended-stay hotel developments in the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential and L-C-4, Limited Commercial districts, respectively. The applicant requests the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential and L-C-4, Limited Commercial districts to amend the existing zoning. The site was not developed in accordance with the approved site plan, and additional parking spaces were built within the required perimeter yard. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1411-2018; CV18-003) has been submitted to reduce the perimeter yard on the south side of the L-AR-12 district from 25 feet to 10 feet. The limitation text commits to a site plan and includes use restrictions, setback requirements, site access provisions, landscaping, exterior building material commitments, and graphics controls. The site is located within the planning area of the Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Medium-High Density” land uses for this location. The Plan also recommends that parking should be hidden to the greatest extent possible by locating it to the rear or side of a building and/or with extensive landscaping. The proposal remains consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendations, as the extended-stay hotel development in the L-C-4 district is existing and functions in conjunction with the multi-unit residential development in the L-AR-12 district. Additionally, the Planning Division has determined that the added parking spaces are sufficiently screened.
