Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-080
APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock; 1182 Wyandotte Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #0500-2019; Z18-060) to the AR-2, Apartment Residential District. The applicant proposes splitting the existing lot into two parcels (Subarea A and Subarea B). The existing historic structure on Subarea A will be repurposed into a 22-unit apartment building. Subarea B will be developed with a new 12-unit apartment building. Variances for building setback lines, and maximum and minimum side yards are included in this request. These reduced development standards are supportable because they will conform the existing building in Subarea A, and allow the building in Subarea B to be positioned closer to the street thereby complementing the existing development pattern along the Mound Street corridor. Furthermore, the requested variances are reflective of recent residential infill development in urban neighborhoods.
