Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV16-077
APPLICANT: Arch City Development; c/o Nathan Sampson, Agent; 990 West Third Avenue; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance No. 1438-2017; Z16-079) to the AR-1, Apartment Residential District. The applicant proposes a fourteen-unit apartment building and requests variances to increase building height and lot coverage, and to reduce the minimum number of parking spaces required from 21 to 15, vision clearance, building lines, maximum side yard required, and minimum side yard permitted. These reduced development standards are supportable because the proposed setbacks allow the buildings to be positioned closer to the street complementing the existing development pattern along the North Fourth Street corridor. Furthermore, the requested variances are reflective of recent residential infill development in urban neighborhoods.
