Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV15-070
APPLICANT: Community Housing Network, Inc., c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 145 East Rich Street, 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
SOUTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance No. 0215-2016; Z15-052) to the L-AR-O, Limited Apartment Office District. The subject site is proposed for development with a 75-unit supportive housing apartment development with a commitment to a subarea plan and development standards in consideration of the abutting residential lots. The site development is conditioned upon a site plan and variances are cited to permit the development as depicted. Subarea A will be developed with a 40-unit building, and Subarea B is presently developed with a 35-unit building. Because Subareas A and B will be separate parcels, variances are needed for parking lot landscaping, maneuvering over a property line, a parking space reduction, and reductions to setbacks and yard standards. The proposed use is in the spirit of the land use recommendation of the Southwest Area Plan for medium density residential development.
