Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z20-081
APPLICANT: Fairway Realty; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-1) on March 11, 2021.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: DisaApproval. The site consists of two undeveloped parcels in the R, Rural District. The requested L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District will permit a multi-unit residential development with a maximum of 360 dwelling units at a density of 12.31 units per acre. The site is within the planning area of the South East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Very Low Density Residential (<4 du/ac)” and “Open Space” uses for this location. Additionally, the Plan includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). C2P2 states that densities higher than the recommended four units per acre may be appropriate where more intense uses are present. C2P2 also states that ecologically-sensitive areas be preserved through site design. The limitation text commits to a site plan and building renderings, and includes provisions for density, setbacks, traffic commitments, and landscaping, with an easement for a trail as requested by the Planning Division. While staff is generally supportive of this proposal, Planning Division staff requires greater detail on the trail connection to the south.
