Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV23-025

APPLICANT: NRP Properties, LLC; 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: Mixed-use and multi-unit residential development.

FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for concurrent rezoning requests (Ordinance #2016-2023; Z21-091 and Ordinance #2017-2023; Z22-043), to the AR-1, Apartment Residential District. The requested Council Variance will permit a 65-unit mixed-use building with up to 6,250 square feet of retail uses on the “North Site” (30 Fornof Road; Parcel #010-104058); and two apartment buildings containing up to 180 units on the “South Site” (103 Fornof Road; Parcel #010-245503). Along with the commercial use variance, requested variances include a one space parking reduction, and reduced vision clearance and building line on the North Site, and a reduced perimeter yard on the South Site. Staff finds the requested variances to be supportable as they will allow both a mixed-use building and a multi-unit residential development within close proximity to a primary corridor, and will not add incompatible uses to the area.

Title

To grant a Variance from the provisions of Sections 3333.02, AR-12, ARLD and AR-1 apartment residential district use; 3312.49(C), Minimum numbers of parking spaces required; 3321.05(A)(1), Vision clearance; 3333.18(C)(2), Building lines; and 3333.255, Perimeter yard, of the Columbus City Codes; for the properties located at 30 & 103 FORNOF RD. (43207), to permit mixed-use and multi-unit residential development with reduced development standards in the AR-1, Apartment Residential District (Council Variance #CV23-025).
