APPLICANT: Avenue Partners; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; Dave Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, First Floor; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, Second Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on June 14, 2018.
MILO GROGAN AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of six parcels developed with a warehouse building and used for semi-trailer parking in the M, Manufacturing District. The applicant is requesting the L-AR-2, Limited Apartment Residential District to permit a multi-unit residential development consisting of 192 dwelling units. The development text includes limitations to the maximum number of dwelling units and building height, while including appropriate provisions regarding street trees, parkland dedication requirements, and traffic related commitments. The site is located within the planning area of the Milo Grogan Neighborhood Plan (2007), which recommends “commercial/multi-unit” land uses for this location. Staff finds the proposed L-AR-2, Limited Apartment Residential District to be consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance # 1873-2018; CV18-010) has been filed to reduce the minimum number of parking spaces required, vision clearance, building lines, and perimeter yard.
