Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV23-036

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

PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.

WESTLAND 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 #2210-2023; Z23-024) to the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District for a multi-unit residential development containing up to 130 units. The requested Council variance permits reduced building lines, reduced perimeter yard, and increased height of detached garages for a proposed apartment complex. The requested building line and perimeter yard reductions are supported noting the irregular shape of the site, and the presence of two stream corridor protection zones on site. The increased height for the detached garage buildings allows for a pitched roof design that is consistent with the proposed apartment buildings. The proposal is consistent with the surrounding zoning and residential development pattern along Alkire Road, and with Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018)
