Explanation
APPLICANT: Garland Properties Ltd; c/o Donald T. Plank, Atty; Plank Law Firm; 145 East Rich Street; Columbus, Ohio 43201.
PROPOSED USE: To allow a property management office, a single-unit dwelling and accessory parking.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant requests a Council variance to use a former church as a 9,800+/- square foot property management office and single-unit dwelling. The northernmost 4,400 square feet of the structure is to be demolished and replaced with a new two-story parking structure. The applicant is also requesting yard variances but most of these variances are to address existing conditions. Any new variances are consistent with the existing conditions and will not be a detriment to the surrounding properties. The proposal would preserve this structure while allowing uses consistent with the zoning and land use patterns of the area and improving the parking situation in the area by adding spaces to the site.
