Explanation

REZONING APPLICATION # Z11-038

APPLICANT: Wheatland Crossing Limited Partnership, and City of Columbus Land Redevelopment Office; c/o
Thomas S. Simons, Agent; The Woda Group, LLC; 229 Huber Village Boulevard, Suite 100; Westerville, OH 43081.

PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.

DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on February 9, 2012.

GREATER HILLTOP AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 8.7± acre site is undeveloped and was formally a
part of the State of Ohio West Broad Street office complex. In 2004, the property was zoned NE, Neighborhood Edge,
and NG, Neighborhood General Districts as part of a 21± acre Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) for 104
single-unit dwellings, but was never developed. The requested PUD-8, Planned Unit Development District will allow a
60-unit apartment building intended for senior housing with a net density of 6.9 units/acre and 4.6 acres of open space.
The site is located within the planning area of The Greater Hilltop Plan Amendment (2010) which recommends medium
density residential development and open space for this location. The PUD Plan and Notes provide customary
development standards that are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, ensure protection of natural features, and
provide active and passive recreational opportunities for residents. The request is consistent with the zoning and
development pattern of the area, and with the land use recommendations of The Greater Hilltop Plan Amendment.

Title

To rezone 180 NORTH WHEATLAND AVENUE (43204), being 8.7± acres located on the east side of North
Wheatland Avenue, at the terminus of Glenview Boulevard, From: NE, Neighborhood Edge, and NG, Neighborhood
General Districts, To: PUD-8, Planned Unit Development District (Rezoning # Z11-038).

Body

WHEREAS, application #Z11-038 is on file with the Department of Building and Zoning Services requesting rezoning
of 8.7± acres from NE, Neighborhood Edge, and NG, Neighborhood General Districts, to PUD-8, Planned Unit
Development District; and

WHEREAS, the residual 11.4 acres of the original TND site will remain zoned in the NG, Neighborhood General
District, and because it is unlikely to be developed as it is zoned, it is anticipated that it will be the subject of a future
rezoning request when a proposed land use is identified; and

WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and

WHEREAS, the Greater Hilltop Area Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the Columbus Public Health Healthy Places program reviews applications for active living features, and

recognizes that this development has five foot wide sidewalks, internal connectivity, a walking path, gathering
spaces, a community garden, and an effort to connect the development to the existing trail system; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the requested PUD-8, Planned

Unit Development District provides customary development standards that are compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood, ensure protection of natural features, and provide active and passive recreational opportunities for
residents. The request is consistent with the zoning and development pattern of the area, and with the land use
recommendations of The Greater Hilltop Plan Amendment (2010); now, therefore:
