Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-141

APPLICANT: David Ruma; c/o Michael Shannon, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.

PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning request to the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District (Ordinance #1304-2023; Z22-092) to permit a multi-unit residential development. A variance to increase the building height from 35 feet to 40 feet is proposed and is supported by staff due to the substantial buffering provided in the site plan included with Z22-092. Additionally, the request includes variances for maneuvering, parking space, minimum parking spaces required, lot area, and perimeter yard, most of which are technical in nature and supported by staff because the site consists of parcels from different taxing districts that are unable to be combined.
