Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-091
APPLICANT: Don Kenney, Jr.; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-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 request to the ARLD, Apartment Residential District (Ordinance #0548-2023; Z22-067) to allow a 96-unit apartment complex. Variances to reduce the building setback line, reduce the perimeter yard, area district requirements, and to allow a public park to not front a public street are included in the request. Staff finds the requested variances to be supportable because the use is compatible with the residential land use pattern in the surrounding area, and is not considered to be an introduction of an incompatible use.
