Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-073
APPLICANT: Mark Larrimer; Moody Engineering; 300 Spruce Street, Suite 200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of 10 parcels zoned in the R-2F, Residential District and developed with a private charitable club as permitted by Ordinance # 1325-96 (CV96-010). The applicant proposes to redevelop the site with a 30-unit apartment building. A Council variance is required because the R-2F district only permits single-and two-unit dwellings. Variances for required parking lot trees, lot area, and building lines are included in the request. Additionally, the applicant proposes a reduction in the required number of parking spaces from 45 to 10. The site is within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends “High Density Residential/Mixed Use Developments” at this location. The proposal is consistent with the Plan’s recommendation, and is compatible with the development pattern of the area.
