Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-031
APPLICANT: NRP Properties, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. The site consists of two parcels developed with an entertainment venue and truck parking lot in the M, Manufacturing District. The requested Council variance will permit multi-unit residential development containing up to 180 units. A variance to reduce the required length and width of 26 parking spaces is included in the request. This proposed development will be subject to a competitive funding process with the Ohio Housing Finance Agency which requires certain land attributes including compliant zoning. The Council variance process is supported to assist in this state funding application process as Rezoning Application #Z20-049, a request for the AR-1, Apartment Residential District, has been filed and is in the formal review process. Planning Division Staff does not support this request as the Northland I Area Plan (2014) recommends the site for “Employment Center,” which supports job related uses, and does not support retail or residential uses.
