Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-042
APPLICANT: Weinland Park Development, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit dwellings.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.59± acre site is developed with a vacant building in the C-4, Commercial District. The applicant is seeking to redevelop the site with single-unit dwellings. The Weinland Park neighborhood is seeing substantial residential development with both new construction and remodeling of existing structures that have been made possible through Council variances (Ordinance #’s 0347-2010, 0345-2013, and 1372-2017). A Council variance is necessary because the C-4, Commercial District does not permit ground floor residential uses. Variances for vision clearance and setback lines are also included in this request. The site is within the boundaries of the University Planning Overlay and the University District Plan (2015), which recommends “Lower Intensity Residential” land uses for this location. The proposed development is compatible with the development pattern of the surrounding neighborhood and consistent with the land use recommendations of the University District Plan.
