Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z20-111
APPLICANT: Metro Development, c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on March 11, 2021.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of twelve undeveloped parcels which are zoned in the R, Rural District. The requested L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District will permit a multi-unit residential development with a maximum of 360 units (13.39 units/acre gross density). The limitation text includes a commitment to a site plan and elevation renderings and supplemental development standards addressing maximum density, pedestrian connectivity, landscaping, and tree preservation. The site is within the boundaries of the Northeast Area Plan (2007) which recommends institutional uses at this location. Despite this recommendation, Planning Division staff recognizes the site’s location along the Stelzer Road transit corridor and proximity to the Easton employment center which are sufficient factors for supporting multi-unit residential development. Concurrent Council Variance Ordinance #0745-2021 (CV20-126) is also requested to permit reduced parking and building setbacks.
