Explanation
Council Variance Application # CV15-050A
APPLICANT: Weinland Park Development, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, First Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, Second Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This Council variance replaces Council variance Ordinance #1372-2017, passed June 5, 2017 that is currently in effect on this development site known as Grant Park, a multi-unit residential development in the M, Manufacturing, C-4, Commercial, and CPD, Commercial Planned Development districts at 1408 NORTH GRANT AVENUE (43201). This ordinance updates the property’s legal descriptions for Parcel 3 and Parcel 4, allows additional garages to be located on Parcel 3, and increases the number of permitted dwelling units on Parcel 1 from 60 to 108. Staff supports reiteration of the previously approved variances into this ordinance, and considers both the increased number of dwelling units and modified parking reduction as minor and appropriate for this urban residential infill development. Staff finds that a multi-unit residential development of this density should be rezoned to an appropriate apartment residential district. For that reason, this ordinance is conditioned on a follow-up rezoning to an appropriate zoning designation.
