Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z18-025
APPLICANT: Epcon Communities, Inc.; c/o Michael Shannon, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, Ohio 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on June 14, 2018.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. The site is developed with five single-unit dwellings. The applicant is requesting the PUD-6, Planned Unit Development District to permit the development of a single-unit residential subdivision containing 81 units (4.01 du/AC) with 3.6 acres of open space. The site is within the boundaries of the Northwest Plan (2016), which recommends “Low Density Residential” land uses for this location. The Plan also encourages connectivity between developments and an interconnected series of streets, sidewalks, and paths. The development text and plan include commitments to specific development standards including vehicular access, landscaping and screening, building materials, refuse collection, and graphics provisions. While the request is compatible with the Northwest Plan’s recommendation for low density residential land uses and includes substantial preservation of natural resources on site, the applicant does not agree to staff’s request to construct street stubs to the north and south that provide vehicular and pedestrian connectivity in the event that adjacent properties redevelop, as recommended by the Plan. Therefore, the City Departments recommend disapproval of this request.
