Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV06-038
APPLICANT: Portrait Homes - Ohio, LLC; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank and Brahm; 145 East Rich Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-family residential development, including two-family dwellings.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant is requesting a Council variance to allow the construction of two-family dwellings in the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District. A variance is necessary because the AR-12, Apartment Residential District requires each dwelling to have no fewer than three (3) dwelling units, while the applicant proposes a multi-family development that includes two-family dwellings. Additionally, variances to allow stacked parking in the driveways and to allow a pond in the east perimeter yard are requested. This property and tax parcel to the east will ultimately be combined, eliminating the perimeter yard requirement at this location. Staff supports these variances as they are technical in nature and will allow development that is compatible and consistant with development patterns of the area.
