Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV09-026
APPLICANT: Edwards Communities Development Company; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Attorney; 37 West Broad Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Concurrent Council variance to allow off-site open space to be counted toward the density of a proposed multi-family development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This Council variance is being requested in conjunction with rezoning request Z09-018. The requested rezoning from L-ARLD to L-ARLD would amend the limitation overlay text's development standards concerning building height, building materials, and lighting restrictions for multi-family residential development. The limitation overlay of the current L-ARLD district provides that the adjacent parcel which is developed with a retention pond may be used in the calculation of density to achieve maximum density of 15 units per acre. Staff has determined that this provision constitutes a variance which cannot be achieved through a limited overlay zoning district. This Council variance will legitimize said provision by varying C.C.3333.15(d), Basis of computing area, to allow the area of the adjacent parcel to count toward the density calculation for the L-ARLD site.
