Rezoning Application Z20-017
APPLICANT: 5364 Thompson Road LLC; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.

DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-1) on April 8, 2021.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 3.84 acre site is comprised of a single parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling zoned in the R, Rural District as the result of a recent annexation from Plain Township that became effective July 29, 2020. The applicant proposes the AR-1, Apartment Residential District to permit a multi-unit residential development. The site is within the planning area of the Northland Plan Volume II (2002), which recommends “Preserve District” for this location, calling for a mix of single and multi-unit residential development with some commercial uses. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1071-2021; CV20-021) has been submitted to vary the perimeter yard requirements to the north and east where adjacent to another apartment complex to allow additional setback area along the west side of the property in consideration of the adjacent single-unit subdivision. The requested AR-1 district is consistent with the Northland Plan Volume II recommendation for mixed-residential development, and the site plan and building elevations submitted with the concurrent variance are compatible with the adjacent residential developments.
