Explanation

Council Variance Application CV03-052

APPLICANT: Metropolitan Holdings Limited; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, Ohio 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Multi-family residential development with two carriage houses.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant's request for a Council Variance to develop five six-unit apartment buildings and two carriage houses on the same parcel in the AR-1, Apartment Residential District with reduced development standards is generally consistent with multi-family development patterns in surrounding AR-1 and AR-3, Apartment Residential Districts and the requested density of 27.7 dwelling units per acre is consistent with the range of existing densities in those districts While there are no existing carriage houses along this section of Chambers Road the proposed carriage houses and two garages serve to establish a transition to reduced building heights along interior lot lines. Variances are also requested to reduce the Chambers Road building setback, maximum and minimum required side yards, rear yard, dumpster location and screening, parking space size, aisle (alley) surface, required number of parking spaces, and increase the height of two detached garages. This variance commits to a site plan and landscaping that meets the requirements of the Transportation Division, Department of Public Safety and Refuse Division. The proposal provides eight parking spaces located partially in the right-of-way of Chambers Road, and requires a fee paid to the Franklin County Engineer's Office for improvements to the alley south of the site. A hardship exists in that there is no zoning district that allows an apartment complex and carriage houses on the same parcel.
