Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-092

APPLICANT: Metro Development LLC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning request to the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District (Ordinance #3305-2022; Z22-068) to allow a multi-unit residential development. Variances are requested to modify the driveway, maneuvering, parking space size, building lines, perimeter yard, and private garage height requirements, most of which are technical variances due to this site and the L-AR-1 district to the east sharing a driveway and a parcel line dividing some provided parking spaces. Staff is supportive of the requested variances, as they allow a multi-unit residential development with desirable site design elements compatible with the design principles recommended by the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018).
