..Explanation
APPLICANT: 1000 S. Front Street LLC; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Smith & Hale, LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Up to six dwelling units and up to 4500 square feet of office uses in an existing building.
BREWERY DISTRICT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant requests this Council variance concurrent with rezoning application Z10-019 to redevelop a vacant structure with six dwelling units and up to 4500 square feet of office space with variances to standards. During consideration of this Council variance, Building and Zoning Services Staff asked the applicant to rezone to a more appropriate zoning district that would accurately reflect the way the site is to be used. The site is located within the boundaries of The Brewery District Plan (1993). This concurrent Council variance is necessary to both grant variances to standards and to conform the existing building with the AR-O, Apartment Office Zoning District concurrently under consideration with Z10-019. Staff supports the proposal because it is consistent with The Brewery District Plan (1993) and finds the requested variances to be minor deviations necessary because of the small size of the site. These variances will cause no negative impacts on the surrounding properties. Furthermore many of the variances are to address existing conditions.
