Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV15-063
APPLICANT: N.P. Limited; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 145 East Rich Street, 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential and/or assisted living facility developments.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance No. 0617-2016; Z15-022) to the L-AR-3, Limited Apartment Residential District. The subject site is proposed for development with 139 apartment units (11.01 units/acre) and/or an assisted living facility with a commitment to a setback plan and development standards in consideration of the abutting residential lots and the Stream Corridor Protection Zone. The requested variances allow no public street frontage for potential new lots, and reduced perimeter yard along the north and east property lines, and along any new interior parcel lines. The site is currently comprised of two Delaware County parcels that have different taxing districts which will not be able to be combined into one parcel. Technical variances for parking and maneuvering over a property line, parking calculations, and perimeter yard are also included in the request to address this issue, and are supported. Due to the presence of stream corridor protection zones within the property, the reduced perimeter yard along the north and east property lines is also supported because it provides a greater capacity to preserve natural features to the south and west. With the proposed variances, the request remains consistent with the land use recommendations of The Far North Area Plan (2014) for medium density residential development.
