Council Variance Application: CV16-024
APPLICANT: Preferred Real Estate Investments II, LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

A variance is necessary because the AR-1, Apartment Residential District does not permit vehicular access for commercial uses. Furthermore, the applicant requests a reduction in the minimum perimeter yard on the north, east, and south property lines to accommodate the residential development. Staff finds the requested variances to be supportable as they will allow multi-unit residential development that is consistent with adjacent residential development to the north, and maintain existing commercial access to neighboring commercial building to the west.
