Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-032
APPLICANT: BPHP BPBH Partners LLC; c/o Connie J. Klema, Atty.; P.O. Box 991; Pataskala, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
ITIALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped, is zoned R-4 Residential, and C-4, Commercial districts, and lies within the Urban Commercial Overlay and Short North Special Parking Area (SNSPA). Ordinance # 1518-2015, passed June 22, 2015 (CV14-053), is in effect on the property, and permits a six-story mixed-use building with 62 residential units, and a three-story mixed-use building with four residential units with a total of 12,000± square feet of commercial space. A three-story, eight-unit apartment building on the parcel to the south was also included in that Council variance, and has been constructed. The requested Council variance changes the development of the northern parcel to a six-story building with 3,926± square feet of restaurant space, 700± square feet of outside dining space, retail tenant spaces of 2,500 square feet or less, garage parking, and 87 apartment units on upper floors. Requested variances include commercial use in R-4 district, with increased height, reduced driveway width, reduced yard/area standards for the R-4 district portion, and increased building setback. The development is 13 spaces short of the SNSPA parking requirements (117 required; 104 provided), and the developer will be initiating the pay-in-lieu process through the Department of Public Service. The revised request remains consistent with recent infill development proposals in historic urban neighborhoods and has been recommended for approval by the Italian Village Commission.
