APPLICANT: Connie J. Klema; 145 East Rich Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff, the Victorian Village Commission and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ord. No. 0036-2015; Z14-036) to the AR-O, Apartment Office District. The site is currently developed with an under-utilized private parking lot. The requested Council Variance will permit the development of the site with a multi-unit residential development on two lots, as depicted on the site plan. In order to develop the site consistent with the established development pattern, a number of variances are requested for permitted uses, driveway width, maneuvering, minimum number of parking spaces required, vision clearance, basis of computing area, fronting, building lines, rear yard, perimeter yard, and height district. Staff finds this request to be compatible and consistent with the zoning and development patterns in the area, and the building design will conform to the Victorian Village Commission requirements.
