Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z19-005
APPLICANT: Ohio Community Development Finance Fund; c/o Jeff Mohrman; 175 South Third Street, Suite 1200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Supportive housing development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on April 11, 2019.
FRANKLINTON AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 3.84± acre site consists of a single parcel developed with a vacant motel in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The applicant proposes the AR-1, Apartment Residential District to convert the site into a supportive housing apartment complex. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1289-2019; CV19-006) is for parking-related and perimeter yard requirements. The site is within the planning area of the West Franklinton Plan (2014), which recommends “community commercial” uses at this location. Staff finds this proposal to be compatible with the zoning and development pattern of the area and views the institutional nature of the project to be consistent with the Plan’s recommendation for the adaptive re-use of existing sites that support a broad range of housing types.
