Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV14-020
APPLICANT: Royal Tallow Holdings, LTD; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 145 East Rich Street, 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit or attached single-unit residential development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. Part of the undeveloped site was platted (Harrison Park, Plat Book 106, Page 56) and was rezoned to the AR-2, Apartment Residential District (Z04-026), and is subject to companion Council Variance Ordinance No. 2760-2012 (CV04-009). Approximately 0.137± acres of the site is zoned M, Manufacturing District, and due to a proposed land swap with the City of Columbus Recreation and Parks Department to enable reorganization of Harrison Park facilities, the development site will have a different boundary than anticipated with the subdivision plat, the AR-2 District and the companion Council Variance. The proposed development will consist of eight (8) three-unit dwellings, which may be subdivided into attached dwellings, which is less than the thirty-six units permitted on the 0.751± acre AR-2 area described in Z04-026/CV04-009. The request includes variances for vision clearance, area requirements, lot coverage, fronting, setbacks, and yard standards which are supported because they are consistent with the development standards approved with CV04-009. The site falls within the boundaries of the Harrison West Plan (2005), which calls for mixed density residential development on the site.
