Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV04-006, 995 PERRY STREET (43215)
APPLICANT: Royal Tallow Holdings Ltd., et al c/o Donald Plank, Esq., 145 East Rich Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215
PROPOSED USE: To permit residential redevelopment.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
The site is located on both the east and west sides of Perry Street south of West Second Avenue and is predominantly developed with factory, warehouse and commercial uses adjacent to large areas of housing in the Harrison West neighborhood. Applicant proposes a major redevelopment of the site with new street and alley dedication and construction of single and two-family detached condominiums, multi-family housing, a community center, partial use of the community center for commercial uses and dedication of public parkland. Applicant has submitted a rezoning application also but requests to proceed by variance to facilitate the project. The uses are appropriate for the site and area and represent a substantial reduction in intensity of uses permitted under existing zoning. A hardship exists in that a variance is the only means to establish the proposed uses in the existing zoning districts.
