Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-061
APPLICANT: John McKay; 781 Northwest Boulevard, Suite 100; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #2240-2020; Z20-045) to the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District for a multi-unit residential development with a maximum of 36 dwelling units. This Council variance will permit a 2,580 square foot commercial retail building and maintain an existing commercial driveway to adjacent commercial properties north of the site. This request is consistent with the Far North Area Plan’s recommendation of community commercial land uses at this location. Included in this request are variances to reduce the building setback along Sancus Boulevard and to reduce the required perimeter yard of the multi-unit residential development. Both variances are supportable due to the unusual shape of the property and because the site is bisected by a stream corridor protection zone, thus limiting the developable area.
