Explanation
Council Variance Application # CV12-039
APPLICANT: New Albany Company LLC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown & David L. Hodge, Attys.; Smith and Hale; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development with reduced perimeter yard for parking and garages.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant is requesting a variance to reduce the required perimeter yard of the subject property from twenty-five (25) feet to ten (10) feet along the west side of the site for parking and garages. This site was originally part of a larger development and was intended to be developed later but that developer decided to not purchase this site. Had the development proceeded as planned, it would have all functioned as one development and the area where the variance is being requested would not have been on the perimeter. As a result, certain buildings on the site are too close to the property line. Staff supports the proposed variance; because the land uses are both multi-unit developments and therefore are compatible.
