The planning committee recommended approval for a development at 8570 N. High Street, a 14.9-acre site that includes one undeveloped parcel and one with an existing dwelling, cell tower, and garage. The property is currently undergoing annexation into the City of Columbus and will be assigned to the R, Rural District. The applicant, Preferred Living, requested rezoning to the ARLD, Apartment Residential District (H-35), to construct a multi-unit residential development with approximately 222 dwelling units, including 72 one-bedroom and 150 two-bedroom units, and amenities such as a clubhouse, pool, and garage parking. The proposal includes companion area variances to reduce the minimum building line from 80 feet to 25 feet from North High Street and the minimum perimeter yard from 25 feet to 10 feet. Staff and the Far North Columbus Communities Coalition (FNCCC) recommended approval, noting that the variances address practical difficulties due to the irregular shape of the property, including stream corridor protection zones, and a required 30-foot right-of-way dedication. The project aligns with the Far North Area Plan's recommendation for Mixed Use (Community) and aims to increase housing supply.
