Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z18-061
APPLICANT: Preferred Living Acquisitions LLC; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill & Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-1) on January 10, 2019.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of six parcels developed with a night club, a car wash, and an auto repair facility in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, and offices in the C-2 and C-4, Commercial districts. The applicant proposes the AR-2, Apartment Residential District in the 60-foot height district to redevelop the site with a multi-unit residential development. The site is within the boundaries of the Olentangy West Area Plan (2013) which recommends “Community Mixed Use” land uses, a designation that includes retail, office, institutional, or hotel uses with residential units located above or next to these uses. The requested AR-2, Apartment Residential District will allow a multi-unit residential development with higher density than recommended in the Plan. However, commitments to a site plan, streetscape improvements, open space, and building elevations consistent with the Plan's recommendations are included with the concurrent Council variance (Ordinance # 0596-2019; CV18-083) for reduced setbacks and perimeter yard. These commitments ensure that this proposed development, along a primary corridor, is compatible with surrounding development and logically fits with potential future redevelopment scenarios.
