Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-023
APPLICANT: Woda Cooper Companies, Inc.; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 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.
LIVINGSTON AVENUE 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 #1619-2020; Z20-021) to the AR-3, Apartment Residential and CPD, Commercial Planned Development districts to allow a 45-unit senior housing apartment building and parking lot. Variances for the apartment building are requested to increase lot coverage, and to reduce the required number of parking spaces from 68 to 37, vision clearance, building lines, maximum and minimum side yards, and rear yard. Staff finds the requested variances to be supportable as they are consistent with other recent similar urban in-fill residential developments, will result in the preservation of an existing contributing building, and will add to the traditional and established development pattern along East Livingston Avenue, as recommended by the Near Southside Plan (2011).
