APPLICANT: SB Chesapeake, LLC; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 145 East Rich Street, 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.

The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance No. 1811-2016; Z16-005) to the AR-3, Apartment Residential District. The site consists of 5 parcels in both the 010 and 420 tax districts, which will prevent the applicant from combining all parcels into a single parcel. The applicant proposes to construct a 113-unit apartment building. Variances are requested to increase building height; to reduce the wideth of the landscaped area for required headlight screening; to allow parking lot aisles, maneuvering, and parking spaces to be divided by a property line; to reduce the minimum required number of parking spaces in the 010 tax district from 122 spaces to 52 spaces in exchange for a commitment to provide additional parking in the 420 tax district; and to reduce AR-3 district requirements for building lines and rear yard.
