Council Variance Application: CV16-066
APPLICANT: Pickett Companies, c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; 423 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.

The reduced perimeter yard is supportable because it enhances the open space along the river and allows the buildings to be positioned closer to the street complementing the multi-unit residential development directly east north across Quality Place. Additionally, staff recognizes site constraints (easements) that prohibit development on portions of the site, and that the requested variance is reflective of recent residential infill development in urban neighborhoods.
