APPLICANT: National Church Residences; c/o Robert A. Meyer, Jr., Attorney; 41 South High Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-family residential development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and is zoned in the C-2, Commercial District. The applicant requests a Council variance to allow a 100-unit supportive housing facility which will be constructed in two phases. The C-2, Commercial District allows dwelling units only when located above the permitted uses in the district. The site is bordered by multi-family residential development to the east, an adult daycare center to the northwest, and single-family residential development to the south and west. The applicant is committing to a site plan which incorporates buffering, screening, and landscaping in consideration of the surrounding residential uses. The site is located within the planning area of the draft Livingston East Area Plan, which recommends mixed use development for the site, including multi-family residential development. Additional variances to reduce required parking from 200 spaces to 65 spaces and a building height increase from 35 to 45 feet are included in the request. The proposal is consistent with established development patterns and with the land use recommendations of the draft Plan.
