Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV14-032
APPLICANT: Preferred Real Estate Investments II, LLC; Jill Tangeman, Attorney; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance No. 2140-2014; Z14-029) to the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District. The applicant proposes to build an apartment complex with up to 114 units. In order to develop the site consistent with the established development pattern, a variance to reduce the required twenty-five (25) foot perimeter yard along the northern, southern, and a portion of the eastern boundaries of the site to five (5) feet is requested. This reduction is supportable because adjacent property is zoned and used for industrial commercial and purposes. Therefore, this variance will allow for more and better utilization of interior space for the residents of this development.
