Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-154
APPLICANT: The New Albany Company, c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 120; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit residential development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel, and a portion of another undeveloped parcel, both zoned in the PUD-4, Planned Unit Development District, and within different Franklin County taxing districts which precludes parcel combination. The requested Council variance will allow the site to be developed with eight single-unit dwellings, not on platted lots, along with garages, accessory buildings, and residential amenities such as but not limited to swimming pools, pool houses, out buildings, athletic courts, barns, and stables. A variance is necessary because the underlying PUD district, established by Ordinance #1776-00 (Z98-059A, Subarea B7a) passed on July 21, 2000, only allows single-unit dwellings in accordance with R-2, Residential District development standards, requiring one dwelling per parcel or lot. Additional variances are included to allow dwellings and buildings to front on private streets, reduced minimum side yards, increased building height, and to specific deviations from the PUD development standards. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Northland Plan - Volume II (2002), which recommends “Preserve District” land uses at this location which recommends continuing a residential development pattern east of Hamilton Road and south of Old Dublin-Granville Road at this location. The requested residential development is consistent with the Plan and does not represent an introduction of an incompatible use to the area.
