APPLICANT: Peerless Development, LLC; c/o Michael Shannon, Atty.; Underhill & Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
UNIVERSITY IMPACT DISTRICT REVIEW BOARD RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #3138-2021; Z20-113) to the AR-3, Apartment Residential District. The applicant proposes a multi-story 140-unit apartment building. Variances for density, lot coverage, a parking space reduction from 274 to 77 spaces, building lines, building size, floor area ratio (FAR), building height, and rear yard are included in the request. Staff defers to the University Impact District Review Board's recommendation on the overall design as appropriately responding to the lower-intensity residential uses to the north and east of the site. The proposal will permit a multi-unit residential development that is consistent with infill development in urban neighborhoods, and does not introduce incompatible uses to the area.
