Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z20-092
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 February 11, 2021.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel zoned in the C-4, Commercial District. The requested ARLD, Apartment Residential District will permit a multi-unit residential development. The rezoning has been filed as a condition of Ordinance #0193-2020, CV19-117, which was approved by City Council on February 3, 2020. The site is within the boundaries of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), and is within an area that has adopted the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). While the Plan recommends neighborhood commercial land uses at this location, the Planning Division supports the request because the site is largely flanked by residential uses, and because C2P2 Design Guidelines encourage highest density residential development along primary corridors with access to transit, which applies to the site’s location along Cleveland Avenue as it is served by the CMAX Bus Rapid transit line. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #0881-2021; CV20-107) has been filed to vary building lines, building height, and to permit a parking space reduction for a 62 unit senior housing development.
