Explanation
Rezoning Application Z18-060
APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock; 1182 Wyandotte Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on December 13, 2018.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.81± acre site is developed with a historic building previously associated with an adjacent religious facility in the R-3, Residential District. The applicant is requesting the AR-2, Apartment Residential District to permit both the redevelopment of the existing historic building into a 22-unit apartment building (Subarea A), and a future 12-unit apartment building (Subarea B). The site is within the planning boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain specific land use recommendations for this location, but it does state, that in general, housing types and density should be consistent with the housing types and densities found in the surrounding area. The Plan also recommends that historic church buildings should be preserved or repurposed. Staff finds this proposal to be consistent with these general recommendations of the Plan. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #0501-2019; CV18-080) has been filed to reduce building setback lines and side yards.
