Council Variance Application: CV25-063
APPLICANT: CAG Riverside Flats Acquisitions LLC., c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Apartment building.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #3268-2025; Z25-032) to the L-AR-3, Limited Apartment Residential District for a 275-unit apartment building with structured parking. The requested Council variance will allow commercial vehicular access to the property directly east of the subject site. Additionally, variances to parking space size, required parking, building setback, lot coverage, and rear yard are also included in this request. Staff finds the requested variances to be supportable as the proposed apartment development could benefit surrounding businesses with potential future employees and customers, and the existing commercial access to the neighboring office building to the east will be maintained. Additionally, the proposal includes bicycle parking, and is located along a walkable, high-intensity corridor proposed for a LinkUS route.
