Council Variance Application: CV18-075
APPLICANT: Urban Land Company, LTD.; c/o Andrew Gardner, Agent; 3500 Snouffer Road, Suite 225; Columbus, OH 43235.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of four parcels, three undeveloped and one developed with a single-unit dwelling, all zoned in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit the development of a 25-unit apartment building. In addition to the use variance, variances to parking lot landscaping and screening, number of required parking spaces (from 38 to 26 provided), building setback, maximum side yard, and building height are included in this request. The site is within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain a land use recommendation for this location, but recommends that new housing be consistent with the housing types and densities in the surrounding area, and compatible in terms of massing, scale, and building height. The building elevations reviewed by the Planning Division and the massing are consistent with the Plan recommendations, and the density of the proposal is generally consistent with nearby densities to the north and east.
