In February, plans were submitted to the City’s Community Development Department for the proposed rezoning of four residential properties at the northeast corner of Fishinger Road and Fairlington Drive – adjacent to the Scioto View Shopping Center on Riverside Drive – to accommodate a redevelopment of 29 condominiums.
Following input provided to the developer through the public review process to date, revised plans have been submitted that reflect the feedback received. Most notable, the number of condominiums has been reduced from 29 to 22, lowering the density and allowing for more greenspace.
Rezoning requests are first reviewed by the Board of Zoning and Planning (BZAP). Following review, BZAP makes a recommendation to City Council for its consideration and action. Three readings at City Council would then follow where a determination would be made on whether or not to rezone the property.
PROJECT DETAILS
The revised submittal for this project proposes rezoning the following properties – totaling 1.92 acres – from R-1 (One-Family Residence District) to RCD (Residential Community Development District):
- 2790 Fishinger Road
- 2770 Fishinger Road
- 2750 Fishinger Road
The proposed Fairlington Heights condominium project would be comprised of 22, two-and-three-story condominium units.
Key changes in the project are as follows:
- The site size has been reduced from 2.42 to 1.92 acres, with one property fronting Donna Drive to remain as a single-family parcel.
- The number of condominiums has been reduced from 29 to 22, lowering the density and allowing for more greenspace.
- Row houses along Fishinger Road have been re-oriented to parallel the right-of-way, providing additional greenspace between the buildings and the properties to the north.
- The amount of guest parking spaces has increased from 13 to 19 spaces.
- Rooftop balconies have been re-oriented and moved from the north side of the buildings to the south to address privacy concerns.
