Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z18-080
APPLICANT: Metro Development LLC; 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 (4-0) on March 14, 2019.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is primarily undeveloped with a few residential structures in the R, Rural District. The applicant proposes to develop the site with a multi-unit residential development containing a maximum of 216 units in the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District (21.57 units per acre). A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1389-2019; CV19-035) has been submitted to modify the building setback line. The Far East Land Use Plan (2018) recommends “Mixed Use” with densities of up to 24 units per acre, but also includes an area-specific policy that recommends that such sites prioritize a mix of uses. Additionally, the Plan includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines. The limitation text includes provisions for buffering and landscaping, signage commitments, and a commitment to a site plan which reflects connectivity to adjacent properties. Planning Staff recognizes this proposal as being generally consistent with the Far East Land Use Plan and C2P2 Design Guidelines.
