Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV06-050
APPLICANT: Portrait Homes Ohio, LLC; c/o Donald Plank; Plank & Brahm; 145 East Rich Street, Third Floor; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: To permit two-unit dwellings with reduced maneuvering in the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District allows dwellings with three or more units. This variance will allow two-unit dwellings in the L-AR-12 district. Additionally, the access and maneuvering requirements for the parking spaces in the attached garages are requested to be varied to allow stacked parking. The proposed stacked parking will not reduce the amount of required parking, but will provide additional parking on the site. Staff supports this request as the two-unit dwellings with maneuvering variances are consistent with the zoning and development patterns of the area. This application is a companion council variance to rezoning application Z06-065, which is a request to rezone from R, Rural District to L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District to allow multi-family residential development. The site could be developed with the larger adjacent parcel.
