Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z18-005
APPLICANT: M/I Homes of Central Ohio LLC; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill & Hodge, LLC; 800 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit residential subdivision.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-1) on September 13, 2018.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and used for agricultural purposes. The requested PUD-4, Planned Unit Development District will allow construction of a single-unit residential subdivision comprised of 245 lots (3.43 units per acre) with 26.6± acres of provided open space. A small portion of this site is located within the boundaries of the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord Plan (2003), which recommends “Rural Residential” land uses for this location. This portion is also located within the boundaries of the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord Implementation Panel. However, Planning Division Staff did not require this application to go before the Panel, so a recommendation was not rendered. The majority of the site is not within a planning area, but is adjacent to the planning areas of the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord Plan and the Northland Plan Volume II (2002). Planning Division staff utilized these plans in formulating their recommendation. The development text commits to a site plan, and includes density and setback requirements, site access provisions, landscaping, exterior building material commitments, and graphics controls. The proposed development is compatible with adjacent residential developments, provides buffering from streets and adjacent lots, and provides future connectivity through the use of street stubs. The site also preserves a significant amount of open space and tree stands, and the open space effectively functions as an organizational element, as recommended by the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord Plan and the Northland Plan Volume II.
