APPLICANT: Bank Street Ventures, LLC; c/o Daniel H. Schoedinger, Atty.; Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP; P.O. Box 1008; Columbus, Ohio 43216.
PROPOSED USE: Four dwelling units (a three-unit dwelling and a single-unit dwelling).
BREWERY DISTRICT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant proposes to redevelop the property with a four dwelling units (a three-unit dwelling and a single-unit dwelling). Council variances for similar residential projects in the area have been approved in the past several years. The suburban oriented zoning code makes redevelopment impractical and would result in inappropriate development for the area; therefore Staff recognizes this Council variance request as more appropriate than a rezoning of the property. The proposal includes a use variance and dimensional variance requests for driveway width, setbacks, stacked parking spaces, and maneuvering.

The site lies within the Southern Tier of The Brewery District Plan (1992), which supports the preservation and enhancement of mixed residential and low intensity commercial uses.
