Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-032
APPLICANT: Fatih Gunal; c/o Michael Shannon, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and a recommendation of disapproval from the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning request to the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District (Ordinance #3308-2022; Z19-043) to allow a 296-unit apartment complex. Variances are requested to modify the landscaping and screening, maneuvering, parking space size, building lines, and perimeter yard requirement, most of which are technical variances due to the site being comprised of parcels with different taxing districts which cannot be combined. Staff supports the requested variances as they will allow a multi-unit residential development that is compatible with adjacent residential uses, provides a significant open space area, and achieves design principles recommended by the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018).
