Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-022
APPLICANT: Metro Development, c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
NORTHEAST 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 #2215-2020; Z20-020) to the L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District for a multi-unit residential development with a maximum of 480 dwelling units. The requested variances are to permit maneuvering and parking spaces to cross a parcel line, to allow increased density on certain parts of the development, to reduce parking and building setbacks, and to eliminate the perimeter yard along interior parcel lines. The variances are supported due to the site being comprised of parcels with different taxing districts which cannot be combined, and because of the presence of a no-build easement over the existing pond in the center of the property. The site design provides a greater capacity to preserve natural features and provide centralized open space as reflected on the site plan included with Rezoning Application #Z20-020.
