Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-055
APPLICANT: Hope and Heart Property Solutions; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit and multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on November 10, 2022.
MIDEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 4.14± acre site is developed with a single-unit dwelling zoned in the R, Rural District. The applicant requests the L-AR-3, Limited Apartment Residential District and PUD-8, Planned Unit Development District to permit single- and multi-unit residential development. The proposed rezoning will split the site into a 1.30± acre parcel with a 37-unit apartment building in the L-AR-3 district, and a 2.84± acre parcel with 15 single-unit dwellings, including the existing dwelling unit, in the PUD-8 district. The L-AR-3 limitation text establishes use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address maximum number of units and parking setbacks. The PUD-8 development text establishes use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address lot size, lot width, side and rear yards, building setbacks, and traffic access, and includes a provision allowing decks within the rear yard. Additionally, the proposed development includes the extension of Askins Road. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #0361-2023; CV22-068) has been submitted for the L-AR-3 district subarea, and includes variances to reduce parking lot landscaping and screening, building and parking setbacks, and to reduce the minimum number of parking spaces required. This location has no adopted land use plan in place, but is subject to Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The proposal is supportable because of the inclusion of additional design features such as single garage doors, glass panels, and porches on the single-unit dwellings in the PUD-8 district; additional bicycle parking in the L-AR-3 district; and a six foot tall board on board fence along the southern and eastern property lines to screen the development from surrounding properties, as demonstrated on the site plan.

Body
WHEREAS, application #Z22-055 is on file with the Department of Building and Zoning Services requesting rezoning of 4.14± acres from R, Rural District, to L-AR-3, Limited Apartment Residential District & PUD-8, Planned Unit Development District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the Mideast Area Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the proposed L-AR-3, Limited Apartment District and PUD-8, Planned Unit Development District will allow single- and multi-unit residential development that incorporates appropriate C2P2 Design Guidelines such as building design features, additional bicycle parking, open space, landscaping, buffering, and screening from neighboring residential uses; now, therefore:
