Council Variance Application: CV24-097
APPLICANT: Abbasi Farms, Ltd. c/o Thomas L. Hart, Atty.; 5029 Cemetery Road; Hilliard, OH 43026.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed use development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning Ordinance #2034-2025 (Z24-038) to the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District and CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The requested variances will allow modified development standards for lot width, lot area, side yards, building lines, required parking, fronting, garage height, and townhouse building units for each of the five proposed residential subareas. The requested variances are supportable as they will allow development that fronts the Heritage Trail, creates interconnectivity between subareas, activates open space, provides screening of parking and placement of parking lots behind buildings, and provides open space adjacent to the Heritage Trail. Furthermore, the commitments with Rezoning Application #Z24-038 include development standards addressing building design, site design, and open space that are all consistent with Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018).
