Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z19-002
APPLICANT: The Pines at Tuttle Crossing Limited Partnership, et al.; c/o R. Brian Newcomb, Atty.; 141 East Town Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on May 9, 2019.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of three parcels developed with a multi-unit residential development in the L-AR-12 & L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential districts. The applicant proposes the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District to permit the development of up to 231 additional units to the existing apartment complex. The site is within the planning area of the Interim Hayden Run Corridor Plan (2004), which recommends “existing multi-family” at this location. Additionally, this site is within a Planning area that adopted the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The proposed limitation text establishes development standards that address setbacks, density, access, parking, buffering and screening, building materials, and lighting; and commits to site plans and building elevations. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1563-2019; CV19-003) has been filed to allow parking in the perimeter yard and to maintain no frontage for one of the parcels. The proposal is consistent with the land use recommendations of the Interim Hayden Run Corridor Plan and the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines and compatible with the surrounding multi-unit residential developments.
