Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z19-081
APPLICANT: 48 Parkwood, LTD; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Michael Kelley, Atty.; 175 South Third Street, Suite 1020; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on March 12, 2020.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of five parcels developed with three vacant residential buildings in the R-3, Residential District. The applicant proposes the AR-2, Apartment Residential District in order to redevelop the southern portion of the site with a new apartment building while retaining and expanding the northern building for apartments. Concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1370-2020; CV19-108) has been submitted to vary the building height, minimum numbers of parking spaces required, building lines, and perimeter yard, and is reflective of recent urban infill developments. The site is located within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain a land use recommendation for this location. The Plan does support the development of new housing that contributes to a walkable and diverse neighborhood, and also stresses the importance of preserving and renovating existing housing stock. The requested AR-2, Apartment Residential District will allow a multi-unit residential development that is compatible with the established development pattern of the area.
