Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-041
APPLICANT: National Church Residences, c/o Matthew Bierlein, Atty.; 2245 North Bank Drive; Columbus, OH 43220.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 4.13± acre site consists of one parcel developed with a 62-unit apartment building in the ARLD, Apartment Residential District, as allowed by Ordinance #0881-2021 (CV20-107). The requested Council variance will allow for a second 60-unit apartment building to be developed. The applicant proposes a future lot split resulting in each apartment building being on its own lot as demonstrated on the submitted site plan. Variances to allow increased density, reduced required parking, increased building height, and reduced building setbacks and side yards are included in this request. While the Northland I Area Plan (2014) recommends “Neighborhood Commercial” land uses at this location, staff supports the request as the proposed building is Phase II of the existing multi-unit residential development, the existing residential nature of the area, and Columbus Citywide Planning Policies’ (C2P2) Guiding Principles (2018) encouragement of high density residential development along primary corridors with access to transit.
