Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z18-031
APPLICANT: Chantry Drive Ltd. No. 2; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on December 13, 2018.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single undeveloped parcel in the L-C-4, Limited Commercial District. The applicant is requesting the L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District to permit a multi-unit residential development containing a maximum of 66 units. The limitation text establishes supplemental development standards that address density, landscaping, screening, street trees, building materials, and lighting controls. The site is within the boundaries of the Far East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Employment Center” land uses at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (2018) Design Guidelines. While the proposal is inconsistent with the Plan's land use recommendation, staff notes that the site is a natural extension of the existing multi-unit residential development to the north and west. Furthermore, the new development will match the existing buildings in terms of building style and materials, consistent with the C2P2 Design Guidelines for residential development. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #0321-2019; CV18-102) has been submitted to reduce the required perimeter yard.
