Explanation
Council Variance Application # CV10-029
APPLICANT: Preferred Real Estate Investments II, LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Reduced perimeter yard for an apartment complex.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ord. No. 1455-2010; Z10-016) to the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District for the development of a 186-unit apartment complex. The applicant is requesting a variance to reduce the required perimeter yard of the subject property from twenty-five (25) feet to five (5) feet along the west property line. The proposed perimeter yard variance is supported because the site was designed to provide interior open space for the residents, while increasing the required setback along Thompson Road. In addition, the requested variance will not negatively impact the institutional use located to the immediate west which is required to have a minimum twenty-five (25) foot side yard. Staff believes that the combined thirty (30) foot wide side yard that will be accomplished between the two developments is sufficient.
