APPLICANT: Lykens Companies; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 145 East Rich Street, 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 145 East Rich Street, 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on May 14, 2015.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The subject site consists of two development subareas separated by Detroit Avenue. The north subarea (Site A) is developed with a 2-story brick and one-story metal industrial building zoned M, Manufacturing, and R-4, Residential Districts. The south subarea (Site B) is developed with a parking lot zoned R-4, Residential District. The applicant proposes the AR-3, Apartment Residential District for the Site A for conversion of the 2-story brick building into 18 apartment units and interior parking, and replacement of the one-story metal building with a 3-story, 13-unit apartment building with interior parking. The AR-1, Apartment Residential District is proposed on Site B to permit a four-unit dwelling and 4-car detached garage. Companion Ordinance No. 1923-2015 (CV15-020) is also requested to vary driveway, parking, vision clearance, and yard and area standards. The requested AR-1, and AR-3, Apartment Residential Districts will replace a potentially incompatible industrial site with multi-unit residential development in a predominantly residential neighborhood. The proposal is consistent with recent infill development projects in historic urban areas.
