Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV16-002
APPLICANT: Akidel Investment Company, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance No. 1358-2017; Z16-002) to the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District to allow an 18-unit residential development. A variance is necessary because the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District does not permit vehicular access for commercial uses. Furthermore, the applicant requests a reduction in the minimum perimeter yard on the south and west property lines to accommodate the residential development while maintaining the stream corridor protection zone. Staff finds the requested variances to be supportable as they will allow multi-unit residential development that is consistent with adjacent residential development while preserving natural resources and maintaining existing commercial access to a neighboring commercial property to the north.
