Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-029

APPLICANT: Avenue Partners; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.

WEST SCIOTO AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and from the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning request (Ordinance #3414-2022; Z22-022) to the AR-2, Apartment Residential District to permit a multi-unit residential development. The requested Council variance will permit a 205-unit apartment complex. Variances for reduced landscaping and screening, parking setbacks, parking spaces, vision clearance, building setback lines, perimeter yard, and to reduce the minimum number of required parking spaces from 308 required to 306 provided spaces are included in the request. Staff supports the proposal as the site plan provides additional landscaping for the parking area fronting Trabue Road, mitigating the visual impact from the roadway. Additionally, the pedestrian pathway connecting to Mapleway Drive creates an improved pedestrian environment, consistent with Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018).
