The ordinance rezones 3.00 acres of land located at 6955 Harlem Rd. from R, Rural District, to L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District. The proposed rezoning will enable the second phase of an existing multi-unit residential development, adding up to 48 units. The site is within the boundaries of the Rocky Fork Blacklick Accord, which recommends village residential uses. Although the proposed density exceeds the Accord's recommendation, the development pattern is consistent with other nearby projects. The Development Commission and City Departments have recommended approval of the rezoning.
This rezoning allows for increased residential density in a growing area, supporting the city’s objective of expanding housing options and meeting urban development goals.
