Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV23-029

APPLICANT: NRP Properties, 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.

COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels and part of another parcel, all in the M, Manufacturing District. The requested Council variance will permit a multi-unit residential development with a maximum of 200 208 units. The proposed residential development will be subject to a competitive funding process by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA), which requires certain land attributes including compliant zoning. The Council variance process is supported to assist in this state funding application process as Rezoning Application #Z23-035, a request for the AR-1, Apartment Residential District, has been filed and is in the formal review process. The site is within the planning boundaries of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “Neighborhood Mixed-Use” land uses at this location. The Plan also includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The developer has agreed to roadway and sidewalk improvements as approved by the Department of Public Service to provide wheelchair and pedestrian connectivity between the site and South High Street.
