Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z21-086
APPLICANT: WX2 Ventures, LLC; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on January 13, 2022.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 13.4± acre site consists of part of one undeveloped parcel zoned in the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District (Ordinance #1252-97; Z93-036) which limits density to ten units per acre and building height to two and one-half stories. The requested L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District revises the limitation text to eliminate a density restriction, and increases the allowable building height to the permitted height range of the 35-foot height district. The limitation text includes supplemental development standards for access provisions, shared and leisure path commitments, building materials commitments, lighting and preservation area controls, and a commitment to a site plan which reflects a 144-unit apartment complex at an approximate density of 10.75 units per acre. Access to the site is through property in Canal Winchester, and that access is still pending approval, and must be resolved prior to the issuance of Zoning Clearance. The site is within the boundaries of the South East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Low-Medium Density Residential” (6-10 units per acre) and “Open Space” land uses at this location. Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018) are also applicable to the site. Staff supports this proposal as the request remains consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendations, and the Planning Division has reviewed building elevations for consistency with C2P2 Design Guidelines.
