Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z20-045
APPLICANT: John McKay; 781 Northwest Boulevard, Suite 100; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on August 13, 2020.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 3.49± acre site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District. The requested L-AR-12 district will permit an increase in the maximum number of dwelling units permitted from 18 to 36 with a revised site plan. The limitation text establishes use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address traffic access, building design, and building materials. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends community commercial land uses at this location. Staff recognizes site constraints make commercial development for the entire site unlikely, and finds the increase in density with this proposal consistent with surrounding residential development. Given the commitment to develop the site in accordance with the submitted site plan, thus maintaining the integrity of the stream corridor protection zone, Staff can support the proposed zoning. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #2241-2020; CV20-061) is included to permit a 2,580 square foot commercial retail building with commercial vehicular traffic along the site frontage, and proposes reduced building line and perimeter yard.
