APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock Architects; c/o Juliet Bullock, Agent; 1182 Wyandotte Avenue; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
FRANKLINTON AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #2896-2021; Z21-064) to the L-AR-O, Limited Apartment Office District. The proposal will allow a mixed-use development including 9,403± square feet of office space on the lower level and 27 apartment units on the upper levels of an existing building, with the new construction of an eight-unit apartment building and three single-unit dwellings. The requested Council variance will permit the single-unit dwelling use, and includes standard variances for reduced building lines and perimeter yard, and increased building height for the existing building.
