Explanation
Rezoning Application Z20-041
APPLICANT: Benjamin Simms; c/o Denise Diyanni, Agent; 12718 Wheaton Avenue; Pickerington, OH 43147.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit dwelling development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on October 8, 2020.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 2.71± acre site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling zoned in the R, Rural District upon annexation from Plain Township in 2018. The requested SR, Suburban Residential District will permit a lot split to accommodate the development of an additional single-unit dwelling. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Rocky Fork- Blacklick Accord Plan (2003), which recommends “Rural Residential” with a recommended density of 1 dwelling unit per acre at this location. This proposal is supported by The Rocky Fork Blacklick Accord Implementation Panel, as the requested density is consistent with the recommendations of the Plan.
