Explanation
Rezoning Application Z18-050
APPLICANT: Ciminello’s Inc.; c/o Laura MacGregor Comek, Atty.; 501 South High Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Single- and multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-1) on December 13, 2018.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 153.7± acre site consists of three parcels developed with single-unit dwellings and agricultural uses. The applicant is requesting the PUD-6, Planned Unit Development District to permit the development of a maximum of 765 mixed-residential units (4.98 units/acre gross density). Up to 300 units contained within single-, two-, three-, or four-unit dwellings on public streets are proposed in Sub-area A, and up to 628 apartment units are proposed on private streets in Sub-areas B and C, with the over-all total number of units not to exceed 765. A minimum of 32 acres of open space is provided, and the PUD plan also provides for a 10-acre school site, with the number of units being reduced to 715 if school development occurs. The PUD plan depicts the intended development, open space and landscaping, streets and access, and the proposed school location. The PUD text provides commitments for use restrictions, R-4 development standards for Sub-area A, ARLD development standards for Sub-areas B and C, density, setbacks, access and street details, sidewalks/paths, street trees, landscaping, street lights, open space, building materials and design, and traffic-related commitments. The site is located within the boundaries of the Rocky Fork - Blacklick Accord (2003), which recommends “West Village Edge” and “West Village Neighborhood” development. Densities are recommended to be between 1-5 units/acre gross, with 30% open space and design guidelines that follow either Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) code or the Village Residential District standards of the Plan. As a whole, the proposed use and densities are generally consistent with the Plan’s recommendations as there are a mix of housing types ranging from single- to multi-unit residences, a proposed school, active and passive open spaces, and appropriate interconnectivity. The proposal maintains 30% open space, limits density to 5 units/acre (gross), provides a combination of Traditional Neighborhood Development and Village Residential District standards as recommended by the Plan, and is supported by the Rocky Fork - Blacklick Accord Implementation Panel.
