Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-063
APPLICANT: Havery Run LLC; c/o Laura MacGregor Comek, Atty.; 17 South High Street, Suite 700; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #0588-2023; Z22-051) to the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, which will permit a mixed-use development. The requested Council variance will permit ground-floor residential units and accessory residential uses. While commercial districts permit apartment units above ground-floor commercial uses, a Council variance is necessary to permit residential uses on the first floor. The request is comparable to recent mixed-use development projects in regional commercial areas, and is consistent with the “Community Commercial” and “Neighborhood Center” land use recommendations of the Interim Hayden Run Corridor Plan (2004).
