Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-013
APPLICANT: SRA Investments, LLC; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Commercial uses.
UNIVERISTY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
UNIVERSITY IMPACT DISTRICT REVIEW BOARD: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The property is split zoned with the eastern half of the parcel developed with a commercial building in the C-4, Commercial District, and the western half of the parcel containing a parking lot and a small portion of the commercial building in the AR-2, Apartment Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit the portion of the building in the AR-2 district to be used for C-4 district permitted uses and will conform the existing parking lot use. This request includes a parking reduction variance from 39 required spaces to 21 provided spaces. The proposal is consistent with the University District Plan’s (2015) land use recommendation of neighborhood mixed-use. Staff finds the proposal will not introduce incompatible uses to the area. Additionally, the site is within the boundaries of the NC, Neighborhood Commercial subarea of the University District Zoning Overlay. The additional parking reduction is supportable due to the proximity of public transit and availability of on-street parking.
