Explanation
Council Variance Application CV23-031
APPLICANT: G & F QOZB; c/o David 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: Eight-unit apartment building.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two undeveloped parcels in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the development of an eight-unit apartment building. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district only allows single-unit dwellings. Variances to building height, parking lot landscaping, reduced minimum parking (from 12 required to 10 provided spaces), building line, and side yards are included in the request. The proposed use is consistent with the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends “Lower and Medium Density Residential” land uses at this location. The Plan further states that proposed residential development should be consistent with the housing types and densities of the surrounding area. Staff supports the requested variances as the site design is consistent with surrounding residential buildings, and other apartment buildings with similar densities are in the vicinity.
