Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-123
APPLICANT: Palmer Estates, LLC c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
GREATER SOUTH EAST 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 #1768-2026; Z25-065) to the L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District for a 32-unit townhouse-style development. The requested Council variance will allow a reduced building setback along Long Road from 40 to 30 feet and a reduced perimeter yard from 25 to nine feet along the eastern boundary of the site. A variance is required because the proposed development cannot meet all development standards of the L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District, but results in a better site design with centralized open space and preservation of trees. Staff supports the proposed variances because Long Road will be widened and will include a multi-purpose trail along the southern boundary of the site, encouraging a more pedestrian-friendly site design in this area with buildings closer to the proposed trail.
