This is a request to rezone a 1.1-acre undeveloped parcel at 2280 October Ridge Drive in Columbus, Ohio, from R-1, Residential District, to ARLD, Apartment Residential District (H-35). The proposed change would allow for multi-unit residential development with a maximum density of 17.4 dwelling units per acre. The site is located on the east side of October Ridge Drive, south of Harrisburg Pike. Surrounding properties include an auto parts store, undeveloped parcels zoned ARLD and C-4 Commercial, and an automotive dealership. The site is within the Southwest Area Plan, which recommends 'Medium Low Density Residential' land uses, and is subject to the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies Design Guidelines. The Southwest Area Commission recommended approval with a 3-0 vote (3 out of 5 members present), suggesting the addition of 1 or 2 EV stations within the complex, which the applicant was willing to consider. Staff noted that the requested rezoning is compatible with existing residential developments and aligns with the Southwest Area Plan.
