Explanation
Council Variance Application # CV09-032
APPLICANT: Dominion Homes, Inc.; c/o Robert A. Meyer, Jr., Atty.; Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur LLP; 41 South High Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Eliminate the garage setback requirements and vary the tree planting pattern requirements in the NE, Neighborhood Edge District.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Z09-038) from the NG, Neighborhood General District to the NE, Neighborhood Edge District for the development of sixty-eight (68) single-family dwellings. The applicant is requesting variances to eliminate the garage setback requirements and vary the tree planting pattern requirements in the NE District. The request is substantially consistent with variances approved by the Columbus Board of Zoning Adjustment for developed areas within this Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND). Although Staff recommended disapproval on the 2004 BZA variance, this request is to continue the same development pattern on a newly zoned section of the original TND site; therefore Staff has no objections to the proposed variances. The applicant has committed to similar conditions that were included in the previously approved BZA variances, and this request is supported by the Rocky Fork/Blacklick Accord Panel.
