Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-036
APPLICANT: Robinwood Corporate Center, LLC; c/o Michael Shannon, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on October 13, 2022.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 6.11± acre site consists of two pieces of a larger undeveloped parent parcel in the L-C-2, Limited Commercial District. The requested L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District will permit the development of a 132-unit apartment building on the western 4.12 acre tract, with the eastern 1.98 acre tract being dedicated to the City of Columbus as parkland. While the Northland I Area Plan (2014), recommends “Office” land uses at this location, staff notes the presence of existing residential uses in the vicinity as a mitigating factor in considering support for this request. The L-AR-1 district includes commitments for the site to be developed in accordance with the submitted site plan, landscape plan, and architectural concept renderings, parkland dedication, and future pedestrian connectivity. Additionally, this request will not add incompatible uses to the area. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #3040-2022; CV22-047) has been filed to reduce the parking setback along Corporate Exchange Drive.
