Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z20-010
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 (6-0) on May 14, 2020.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District as Subarea A of Ordinance #1953-2019 (Z18-006) which permitted office commercial and institutional uses, along with hotels, motels, and extended stay hotels. An extended-stay hotel development had been planned for this site. The requested L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District will instead permit multi-unit residential development with a maximum of 240 dwelling units (24.12 du/AC). A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1262-2020; CV20-015) has been submitted to vary the perimeter yard setback. The property is within the boundaries of the Northeast Area Plan (2007) which recommends “Airport Related” uses at this location, including office, retail, airport service, light industrial, and other uses that are compatible with and supportive of Port Columbus. The site is also within the boundaries of the Port Columbus Joint Economic Development Strategy (2008), which recommends “Office” and “Residential” uses for this location. The limitation text commits to a site plan, and includes provisions for traffic commitments and landscaping. Planning Division Staff notes that this proposal is a conversion from an extended-stay hotel development to an apartment complex that otherwise is largely consistent with the previous proposal, and along with the remainder of the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, is consistent with the Northeast Area Plan's land use recommendation for Airport Related uses.
