Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-092
APPLICANT: David Ruma; c/o Michael Shannon, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (7-0) on April 13, 2023.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of three parcels, two of which that were annexed from Plain Township and will be zoned in the R, Rural District (effective May 3, 2023) and developed with single-unit dwellings. The applicant proposes to develop the site with a multi-unit residential development containing a maximum of 216 units in the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District (21.84 units per acre). The limitation text commits to a site plan and includes development standards addressing setbacks, site access, landscaping, building design, and graphics provisions. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1305-2023; CV22-141) has been submitted to vary building height, along with maneuvering, parking space size, minimum number of parking spaces required, lot area, and perimeter yard due to parcels from different taxing districts that are unable to be combined. The site is located within the boundaries of the Rocky Fork - Blacklick Accord Plan (2003), which recommends “Neighborhood Center” land uses for this location. The Plan recommends five units per acre with a bonus density of eight units per acre at this location. Although the proposed development is at a higher density than recommended by the Plan, staff notes that the proposed density is comparable to other multi-unit residential developments in the vicinity. The request also received a recommendation of approval from the Rocky Fork Blacklick Accord Panel on March 16, 2023.
