Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z18-047
APPLICANT: M Five LP; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on November 8, 2018.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. The site consists of two undeveloped parcels zoned in the L-C-2, Limited Commercial District. The requested PUD-6, Planned Unit Development District will permit a multi-unit residential development consisting of 12 four-unit dwellings and 2 six-unit apartment buildings (60 units; 5.7 units/acre) on private streets with 2.73 acres of open space. The PUD plan depicts the buildings and open space locations, site access, landscaping, and sidewalks/paths. The text includes commitments for setbacks, a turn lane, screening, building materials, and lighting controls. The site is within the boundaries of the South East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Employment Center” land uses at this location. Residential uses are generally not supported within this classification. Staff would consider support for residential development on the rear portion of the site if the frontage was retained in the L-C-2, Limited Commercial District to match the established zoning pattern to the west.
Title
To rezone 4464 PROFESSIONAL PARKWAY (43125), being 10.53± acres located on the north side of Professional Parkway, 860± feet east of Hamilton Square Boulevard, From: R, Rural District, To: PUD-6, Planned Unit Development District (Rezoning #Z18-047).

WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the Greater South East Area Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend disapproval of said zoning change because the requested PUD-6, Planned Unit Development District is inconsistent with the land use recommendations of the South East Land Use Plan. Staff would consider support for residential development on the rear portion of the site if the frontage was retained in the L-C-2, Limited Commercial District to match the established zoning pattern to the west; now, therefore:
