Council Variance Application: CV19-066
APPLICANT: Attainable Luxury, LLC; c/o Brian Higgins; 1310 Dublin Road; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development and parking lot.
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 # 0120-2020; Z19-048) to the AR-O, Apartment Office District to allow the development of an apartment building. The requested variance will permit an off-site parking lot, and reduces the required number of parking spaces from 101 to 84, with reductions to parking lot trees, parking setback, parking space size, and vision clearance requirements for the parking area. Additionally, variances to reduce lot coverage, building setback, and rear yard are needed to accommodate the new building. Staff supports the variances as they will allow flexibility in the site design on this urban lot. A site plan commitment is also included with a design that ensures that this proposed development, along a primary corridor, is compatible with surrounding development and the recommendations of the Near East Area Plan (2005).
