Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-118
APPLICANT: Central Ohio Opportunity Fund, LLC; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and zoned in the M, Manufacturing District. The applicant is requesting a Council variance to permit the development of a multi-unit residential development. The site is within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends “Office/Light Industrial/Mixed Uses” at this location. This proposed development will be subject to a competitive funding process by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development which requires certain land attributes including compliant zoning. The Planning Division does not object to this limited Council variance request, recognizing that this ordinance includes a condition that a Certificate of Zoning Clearance will not be issued until Rezoning Application #Z19-095 is approved thereby establishing appropriate apartment residential zoning. Comments related to site design, building design, and other matters for the project will be provided at the time of rezoning, but the applicant is strongly encouraged to reach out to Planning Division Staff for feedback on the proposal.
