Explanation
Council Variance Application # CV14-031
APPLICANT: Metro Development, LLC; c/o Deanna R. Cook, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Reduced parking setback line for an apartment complex.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The subject site will be developed as Phase II of the Remington Woods apartment complex. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance No. 2244-2014, Z14-026) to the L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District, for the development of this phase, and to revise the site plan and setback requirements on Phase I which will result in the development of a maximum of 276 units on 17.46 acres (15.81 units/acre). The applicant is requesting a variance to reduce the required parking setback line from twenty-five (25) feet to five (5) feet along Lazelle Road to continue the established parking setback line for Phase II. Phase I of the development received the same parking setback reduction with Ordinance No. 2550-2012 (CV12-005). The proposed variance is supported due to the presence of stream corridor protection zones within the property, and the reduced setback provides a greater capacity to preserve natural features.
