Council Variance Application: CV17-063
APPLICANT: Gallas Zadeh Development, 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.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The undeveloped site is comprised of multiple parcels zoned in the R-3, Residential District. The applicant is seeking to construct an eight-unit apartment building and a single-unit dwelling, for a total of nine dwelling units (Subarea A). The applicant is also seeking to construct a four-unit dwelling and a six-unit apartment building, for a total of ten dwelling units (Subarea B). A Council variance is necessary because the R-3 district allows only single-unit dwellings on individual lots. The applicant also requests variances to building height, landscaping and screening, parking spaces, vision clearance, building lines, maximum side yard, and private garage height. While the Near East Area Plan (2005) does not include a specific land use recommendation for this location, it does recommend that housing types and density should be consistent with the housing types and densities found in the surrounding area. The Plan also includes housing design guidelines. The proposal is consistent with the Plan’s design guidelines and generally consistent with densities found in the surrounding area.
