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 (Ordinance # 0296-2018; Z17-045) to the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District to allow the development of a 60-unit apartment complex. The requested variances will permit two parking spaces to maneuver within the parking setback, a reduced building setback from 50 feet to 25 feet along Sunbury Road, and a reduced perimeter yard setback from the north property line from 25 feet to 20 feet.
