Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-064
APPLICANT: Arlington Properties; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; 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 request to the L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District (Ordinance # 0186-2018; Z17-037) to allow a 176-unit apartment complex. Variances are requested to reduce the perimeter yard, to increase the private detached garage height to complement adjacent residential structures, and to conform the existing single-unit dwellings in the event that the site is not developed with a multi-unit residential development. Staff finds the requested variances to be supportable because the site is being designed in a manner that mitigates its impact on nearby lower density residential uses while protecting natural resources.
