Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-030
APPLICANT: Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty; Underhill and Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on August 11, 2022.
5TH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of three parcels zoned in the R, Rural and L-M, Limited Manufacturing districts. Two of the parcels are developed with commercial warehousing, and the third is partially developed with a commercial structure and radio antenna. The requested AR-3, Apartment Residential District will permit multi-unit residential development. Concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #2654-2022; CV22-039) has been submitted to permit 2,214 square feet of commercial space, and contains variances to building height, maneuvering, parking space, bicycle parking, lot coverage, building setback, and rear yard requirements. The site is within the planning boundaries of the 5th by Northwest Area Plan (2009), which recommends ”Multifamily” land uses at this location, and includes early adoption of Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Staff supports the proposed mixed-use development at this location because the Chambers Road corridor contains a mix of both commercial and multi-unit residential land uses. This request will not add an incompatible use to the neighborhood.
