Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV05-035
APPLICANT: National Church Residences; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street; Suite 725; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: A 100 dwelling-unit apartment complex.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. A Council variance (CV04-004) was passed by Council on March 10, 2003 for 100 dwelling units on the north and south side of Chantry Drive. There is a need for a regional detention basin which is to be located on the subject property on the south side of Chantry Drive. The applicant is seeking to relocate all 100 dwelling units to the north side of Chantry Drive via amendment Z02-107A. A Council variance is necessary in that the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District does not allow residential densities over 12 dwelling units per acre. This proposal would allow 13.85 dwelling units per acre. This higher density is due to the shifting of all of the dwelling units to the north side of Chantry Drive.
