Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV07-050
APPLICANT: Preferred Real Estate Investments II, LLC; c/o Robert A. Meyer, Jr., Atty.; 41 South High Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Stacked parking.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This application is a companion council variance to rezoning application Z07-027 to rezone 12.4 acres from C-2, Commercial District to L-C-4, Limited Commercial (5.4 acres) and L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential (7 acres) Districts. This variance applies to the 7 acres proposed for rezoning to L-AR-12. The applicant is proposing to build multi-family dwelling units with one car garages, with the second required parking space per dwelling unit permitted as a stacked parking space in the driveway. Each parking space is required to have sufficient access and maneuvering area, so by allowing the stacked parking spaces directly behind the garage spaces, the garage spaces do not have the required maneuvering space. This variance will not reduce the amount of required parking. Additional parking will be provided on the site at the rate of one space per each six (6) dwelling units. The proposed development with stacked parking and the required additional parking is compatible with development in the area.
