Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-022
APPLICANT: Gallas-Zadech Development, LLC; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single undeveloped parcel zoned in the R-3, Residential District. The existing zoning is the result of a city-initiated downzoning of the neighborhood in 1993 (Z93-023A). A Council variance is necessary because the existing zoning district only permits single-unit dwellings, while the applicant proposes a fourteen-unit apartment building. Variances for reduced building lines and a reduced rear yard are included in this request. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not have a recommended land use for this location. The Plan does state that in general, housing types and density should be consistent with the housing types and densities found in the surrounding area. City staff supports the proposed variances as the density and building placement is consistent with those found along this section of Bryden Road.
