Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV06-043
APPLICANT: Reserve at Preston Woods LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman and Sarah Herbert, Attys.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-family residential development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The subject site is zoned L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District, and is currently being developed with two multi-family residential developments known as The Village at Preston Woods (parcel number 010-277764) and The Reserve at Preston Woods (parcel number 010-242651). The applicant is requesting a Council variance to obtain lot split approval that will allow the shared clubhouse facility and each of the multi-family residential developments to be on their own parcels for financing purposes. As a result of the split, technical variances for density, fronting, perimeter yard, access, aisle width, and parking are needed. This Council variance is necessary because clubhouse facilities must be on the same parcel as the multi-family residential developments in which they serve. No actual increase in density and no new construction are proposed with this request. The approved Zoning Clearance plan for this development will essentially remain the same; it is simply being sub-divided because each multi-family residential development is financed through a different lender.
