DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on May 12, 2022.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 7.68± acre site consists of three parcels, each developed with a single-unit dwelling, in the R, Rural District. The requested L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District will permit multi-unit residential development containing up to 168 apartment units (21.88 units per acre gross density). The limitation text establishes use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address the maximum number of permitted units, building setbacks, traffic access, pedestrian connectivity, tree preservation, and building materials and design. Commitments to develop the site in accordance with the submitted site plan and building renderings are included in the text. The proposed density is consistent with the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord’s (2003) recommendation for “Neighborhood” land uses and adjacent multi-unit residential developments along this section of Warner Road. The request incorporates pedestrian connectivity, ample landscaping, and includes architectural examples for the three story apartment buildings that are supported by staff. The Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord Implementation Panel unanimously recommended approval of this request at their April 21, 2022 meeting. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1669-2022; CV22-005) has been filed to reduce the required perimeter yard along the eastern property line.
