Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z20-090
APPLICANT: Metro Development, LLC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; Smith and Hale, LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on January 14, 2021.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 10.54± acre site consists of four parcels in the R-1, Residential District. Two parcels are developed with single-unit dwellings, and the other two parcels are undeveloped. The requested L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential district will permit multi-unit residential development containing up to 160 apartment units (15.18 units per acre gross density). The limitation text establishes use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address the maximum number of permitted units, traffic improvements, landscaping, tree preservation, and open space. Commitments to develop the site in accordance with the submitted site plan and building elevations have been included in the text. The requested L-ARLD district is consistent with the Far East Land Use Plan’s (2018) recommendation for “Medium Density Residential” uses at this location. Additionally, Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018) were adopted with the Far East Land Use Plan. The proposed building elevations demonstrate the use of durable, high quality materials and aesthetically appealing design through the use of appropriate and varying massing and architectural elements as recommended by C2P2. The request is compatible to adjacent residential development and the zoning pattern along McNaughten Road. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #0317-2021; CV20-104) has been filed to reduce the building line along McNaughten Road to accommodate the development’s swimming pool.
