Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-011
APPLICANT: Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 120; New Albany, OH 43054.

The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #1649-2025; Z25-005) to the ARLD, Apartment Residential District. The requested Council variance proposes a 210-unit apartment complex with variances to reduce the required building setback lines and perimeter yard, and also includes commitments to develop the site in accordance with the submitted site plans and building elevations.
