Explanation

Council Variance Application CV22-100

APPLICANT: Steven Hicks, MGM Properties; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.

PROPOSED USE: Ground floor residential uses within a mixed-use development.

WEST SCIOTO AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one 5.20± acre parcel developed with a 58,501± square foot commercial shopping center zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The requested Council variance will permit the site to be redeveloped with a mixed-use development containing 235 apartment units, including ground floor residential units, and 1,829 square feet of commercial space. A Council variance is necessary because ground floor residential uses are not permitted in the CPD district. The site is located within the boundaries of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends “Mixed-use (Community)” land uses at this location, and includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The West Scioto Area Commission conditioned support on prohibiting northwest bound right turns at the intersection to the west of the proposed Building B. The Department of Public Service is not supportive of establishing a regulatory sign that would prohibit right turns at this intersection where such a prohibition does not address a safety issue, therefore that condition has not been met. The requested variance will allow a mixed use development that is not considered to be an introduction of an incompatible use, and is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation.
