Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV13-026
APPLICANT: Sean Ash, Peak Property Group; c/o Juliet Bullock, Architect; 1182 Wyandotte Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Ten-unit apartment building.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested Council variance will allow a ten-unit apartment building in the R-4, Residential District. The building was originally constructed as a nine-unit apartment building prior to the establishment of the R-4 District. The applicant proposes converting an internal storage area into a tenth unit. A variance for increased floor area ratio is included in the request. The site lies within the boundaries of the University Neighborhoods Revitalization Plan (1996), which recommends lower density residential development for this location. The existing apartment use is consistent with the surrounding land use pattern, and the addition of one unit will have no detrimental effect
on the surrounding neighborhood. Staff is supportive of this request which will not add an incompatible use to the neighborhood.
