Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-065

APPLICANT: The Robert Weiler Company; c/o Michael Shannon, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.

PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.

NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. The applicant has received a recommendation of disapproval from Staff and a recommendation of approval from the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #0882-2023; Z22-053) to the AR-1, Apartment Residential District. The applicant proposes an apartment complex containing 228 units as depicted on the submitted site plan. Variances for maneuvering, parking space, minimum numbers of parking spaces, and rear yard are included in the request because the site contains parcels within different taxing districts and will not be able to be combined. Additionally, a variance to reduce the required perimeter yard is included due to the presence of a stream corridor protection zone. While the variances for a non-residential development may be supportable, staff does not support the concurrent AR-1 district, and therefore does not support the proposed apartment complex with reduced development standards at this location.

Title

To grant a Variance from the provisions of Sections 3312.25, Maneuvering; 3312.29, Parking space; 3312.49(C), Minimum numbers of parking spaces required; 3333.24, Rear yard; and 3333.255, Perimeter yard, of the Columbus City Codes; for the property located at 1895 STELZER RD. (43219), to permit reduced development standards for an apartment complex in the AR-1, Apartment Residential District (Council Variance #CV22-065).
