Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV26-030
APPLICANT: Custom Home Building Consultants; c/o Gary Dunn; 3060 Abbey Knoll Drive; Lewis Center, OH 43035.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
NORTH CENTRAL 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 #1612-2026; Z25-070) to the L-M-2, Limited Manufacturing District for limited less-objectionable manufacturing and office uses. The requested Council variance will allow the residential component of a proposed mixed-use building which consists of three dwelling units, and includes reduced development standards for required parking, loading space size, parking and building setbacks, and landscaped area. A Council variance is required because the L-M-2 district does not allow residential uses. The proposed mixed-use development also includes limited less-objectionable manufacturing and office uses. The request is consistent with the Columbus Growth Strategy’s “Mixed-Use 2” land use recommendation, and provides additional housing options for the neighborhood.
