Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-006
APPLICANT: Ohio Community Development Finance Fund; c/o Jeff Mohrman; 175 South Third Street, Suite 1200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Supportive housing development.
FRANKLINTON 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 #1288-2019; Z19-005) to the AR-1, Apartment Residential District to allow the development of a supportive housing apartment complex. The requested variances will maintain reduced aisle and maneuvering areas, permit a commercial van to be parked in the complex for residents, reduces the minimum number of parking spaces required from 158 to 130 spaces, and reduces the perimeter yard from 25 feet to between 0 and 14 feet. Staff is supportive of the variances, preferring the adaptive re-use of a previous commercial use as recommended by the West Franklinton Plan (2014). The proposal is compatible with adjacent zoning and development patterns.
