Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV06-006

APPLICANT: NRP Group, Inc.; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty., Smith and Hale; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: A seventy-four (74) unit apartment complex with reduced parking.

NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This variance will permit a seventy-four (74) unit apartment complex on 8.86 acres zoned for commercial and single-family use. A Variance is necessary in that the C-4 Commercial District allows apartments only over storerooms, and the R-2 Residential District permits only single-family dwellings on individual lots. The dwellings will be designed for elderly use at approximately 8.35 dwelling units per acre. For 74 dwelling units, 148 parking spaces are required. The applicant proposes 135 parking spaces, a reduction of only seven spaces. A hardship exists in that a tax credit program requires Council action prior to completion of a rezoning process, which will follow as a condition of this variance.
