Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z20-054
APPLICANT: National Church Residences, c/o Matthew Bierlein, Atty.; 2335 North Bank Drive; Columbus, OH 43220.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on November 12, 2020.
MIDEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 4.94± acre site consists of six parcels developed with a vacant religious facility and undeveloped land zoned in the R-3, Residential District. The applicant requests the AR-O, Apartment Office District to permit multi-unit residential development. The site is within the boundaries of the Livingston East Area Plan (2009), and is within an area that has adopted the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). While the Plan recommends institutional and single-unit residential uses at this location, C2P2 guiding principles support mixed-use and high density residential infill development at this location along a primary corridor. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #2846-2020; CV20-058) has been filed to reduce the minimum number of parking spaces required, building lines, and parking setback for a senior housing development.
