Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-107
APPLICANT: National Church Residences; c/o Matthew Bierlein, Agent; 2335 North Bank Drive; Columbus, OH 43220.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #0880-2021; Z20-092) to the ARLD, Apartment Residential District. The applicant proposes a senior living facility containing a maximum of 62 units. Variances to building lines, building height, and a parking space reduction from 93 spaces to 52 spaces are included in the request. The parking reduction variance is supportable because the nature of the development reflects parking numbers that account for residents that will not have private vehicles. Additionally, the request includes a commitment to a site plan which incorporates high quality design elements with adequate site landscaping to lessen the impact on the surrounding lower density residential uses, and identifies areas of tree preservation.
