Case 25-014 is a Concept Plan submitted for a proposed mixed-use development known as Avery Crossing. The project covers approximately 127 acres located at the southwest corner of Rings Road and Avery Road in southwestern Dublin, Ohio (addresses: 6555 Rings Road, 6333 Rings Road, and related PIDs: 274-000023, 274-000117).

Applicant: CASTO (represented by Kolby Turnock)

Current Zoning: Rural (R)

Proposal: Rezoning to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for a mixed-use community including:

• Residential housing (single-family, townhomes, and multifamily/apartments)

• Commercial/retail space

• Open space and amenities

• Incorporation of the existing Ponderosa Mobile Home Estates (senior community)

Location Context:The site lies in close proximity to Ballantrae and other southwestern Dublin neighborhoods, making it a significant development proposal for the area.

• Increased Building Height: Plans include taller structures that could impact views, privacy, and the overall scale of the neighborhood. Higher Density Than Originally Proposed: The revised plan significantly increases the number of residential units compared to the initial proposal.

•  Traffic Impacts: Additional traffic will be funneled onto Rings Road (which will remain 2 lanes) and Avery Road, creating congestion and safety risks.

•  Impact on Existing 55+ Community: The development would completely surround the Ponderosa Mobile Home Estates, potentially pressuring senior residents to move due to changes in noise, traffic, character, and quality of life.

• Compatibility with Community Character: The scale, density, and mix of uses raise concerns about preserving the suburban, family-oriented feel of the area.
