Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z21-063
APPLICANT: Glavan Group LLC; c/o Jeffrey Glavan; 92 Hanford Street; Columbus, OH 43206.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on May 13, 2022.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a vacant commercial swimming pool in the C-4, Commercial District. The requested L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District will permit the development of a multi-unit residential development with a maximum of 46 dwelling units at a gross density of 18.04± units per acre. The limitation text provides commitments to a site plan and landscaping plan, and includes development standards addressing density and the provision of a sidewalk to Beechcroft Road. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Northland 1 Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Institutional” land uses at this location in recognition of the site’s history of community recreational uses and adjacent school site to the north. Although the requested L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District in inconsistent with the Plan’s “Institutional” land use recommendation, redevelopment for a range of uses may be supported if a proposal’s scale and intensity reflect surrounding uses and conditions. As the surrounding area is largely residential and the site is adjacent to a multi-unit residential development to the east, the proposed use is supported.
