Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z21-084
APPLICANT: Alkire Woods LLC; c/o Jill Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on February 10, 2022.
GREATER HILLTOP AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This site, known as Alkire Woods, was zoned in 2004 to a PUD-6, Planned Unit Development District to permit a residential subdivision. In 2009, the property was rezoned to PUD-6 and L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District for the existing single-unit residential subdivision and a new apartment complex. The requested rezoning will expand the apartment complex. Subarea 1 shall remain a PUD-6 district with the same standards as set forth in the existing PUD-6 district to accommodate the existing single-unit lots. Subarea 2 shall be rezoned to L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District, with the same standards established by the L-AR-12 district to accommodate the existing apartment complex and to allow for the construction of a total of 48 units in two additional apartment buildings. The limitation text commits to a site plan, landscape plan, and building elevations, and includes development standards addressing number of units (38 in Subarea 1 and 208 in Subarea 2) setbacks, access, screening, building design, lighting, and graphics provisions. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Hilltop Land Use Plan (2019), which recommends “Private Open Space,” ”Low Density Residential (4-6 du/ac),” and “Medium Density Residential (10-16 du/ac)” land uses for this location. Additionally, the Plan includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The proposal is consistent with the land use and design recommendations of the Plan and C2P2 guidelines. The requested PUD-6, Planned Unit Development District and L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District will retain an existing single-unit subdivision and allow expansion of an apartment complex with density and development standards that are compatible with adjacent residential developments. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1096-2022; CV22-009) has been filed to vary the internal perimeter yard, as parcel numbers with different taxing districts that comprise the apartment complex are unable to be combined.
