Explanation
Council Variance Application: Z15-046
APPLICANT: Jeff May; c/o Michael J. Maistros, AIA; 4740 Reed Road, Suite 201; Columbus, OH 43220.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on January 14, 2016.
COLUMBUS SOUTHSIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 3.04± site consists of a parking lot zoned in the C-4, Commercial District, and CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The applicant requests the AR-3, Apartment Residential District to allow multi-unit residential development. The site is located within the boundaries of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “neighborhood mixed uses” with residential uses having a density up to 45 units per acre for this area. Staff finds that the proposed AR-3, Apartment Residential District which permits density higher than 45 units per acre is warranted as most of that density is concentrated adjacent to commercial uses fronting Parsons Avenue. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance No. 1183-2016 (CV15-062)) has been filed to request variances for commercial access through the AR-3, Apartment Residential District, landscaping and screening, dumpster area requirements, and perimeter yard.

WHEREAS, the Columbus Southside Area Commission recommends approval; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the requested AR-3, Apartment Residential District is consistent with the zoning and development patterns of the area.
