Explanation
Council Variance Application # CV13-018
APPLICANT: Dominion Homes, Inc.; c/o Robert A. Meyer, Jr., Atty.; Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur LLP; 41 South High Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit residential development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ord. No. 1037-2013; Z13-026) from the NG, Neighborhood General District to the NE, Neighborhood Edge District for the development of twenty-four (24) single-unit dwellings. The applicant is requesting variances to eliminate the garage setback requirements and to vary the tree planting pattern requirements in the NE District. The request is substantially consistent with variances approved by City Council (CV09-032) and the Columbus Board of Zoning Adjustment for developed areas within this Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND). Although Staff recommended disapproval on the original 2004 BZA variance, this request is to continue the same development pattern on a newly zoned section of the original TND site; therefore Staff has no objections to the proposed variances. The applicant has committed to similar conditions that were included in the previously approved Council and BZA variances, and this request is supported by the Rocky Fork/Blacklick Accord Panel.
