PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
WEST SCIOTO AREA COMMISSION 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 1944-2022; Z21-017) to the AR-1, Apartment Residential District. The proposed development includes two five-story apartment buildings totaling a maximum of 315 units with a use variance to permit commercial access on a private street within the development to connect to the Quarry Trails mixed-use development and Metro Park to the north of the site. The request also includes standards variances for increased building height from 60 to 65 feet, reduced parking from 473 to 360 spaces, and reduced building setback line and perimeter yard. Staff finds the requested variances to be supportable as they will permit a multi-unit residential development that is consistent with Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Additionally, the development will provide a greenway trail connection to the adjacent parkland.
