Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV08-043

APPLICANT: The NRP Group LLC; c/o David L. Hodge, Atty.; Smith & Hale; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Elderly housing and up to 5,000 square feet of hospital use.

FRANKLINTON AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant is requesting a Council variance to allow sixty (60) elderly housing units and up to five thousand (5,000) square feet of hospital use with additional variances to the standards of the AR-1, Apartment Residential District. A Council variance is necessary due to the applicant's timing constraints for funding and because hospital uses are not permitted in the AR-1 Apartment District. In addition, only 58 dwelling units could be permitted without a variance on this site. The site is within the planning area of the Franklinton Plan (2003) which recommends single-family dwellings for the site. Deviation is supported as the site is adjacent to a large multi-story parking garage for the hospital, making it undesirable for single-unit dwellings. The applicants have agreed to design their building utilizing the Design Guidelines in the Franklinton Plan (2003). The applicant has filed a CPD rezoning (Z09-001) to permit the elderly housing units and hospital use with the associated variances. The requested variance would permit a mixed-use development with reduced development standards consistent with the development patterns and character of the surrounding neighborhood.
