Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV23-034

APPLICANT: Loeffler Development, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; Dave 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.

NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the R-3, Residential District. The site is subject to Ordinance #1780-2019 (CV19-037), which permits a six-unit apartment building and three attached single-unit dwellings. The applicant now proposes a four-unit dwelling and a three-unit dwelling for a total of seven units on one parcel. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district permits only one single-unit dwelling per parcel. Variances to building setback, fronting, and rear yard are also included in the request. Staff finds the requested variances to be supportable as they will allow the site to be redeveloped with multi-unit residential development that is consistent with the housing types and densities of the surrounding neighborhood.
