Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-122

APPLICANT: Metro Development LLC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.

WESTLAND AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #1308-2023; Z22-089) to the L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District, which permits a multi-unti residential development.Variances to allow commercial traffic on this portion of the site, in addition to reductions in landscaping and screening, building lines, perimeter yard, and increased private garage height, are included in this request. Staff finds the requested variances to be supportable as they will allow a mixed-use development that is consistent with surrounding land uses, and accomodates tree preservation, centralized open space, and interconnectivity between the proposed developments.
