Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-034
APPLICANT: NP/FG, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 E. Town St., 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 E. Town St., 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Ground floor residential uses.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of parts of two undeveloped parcels in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The applicant requests a Council variance to permit ground floor residential uses. A Council variance is required because this CPD district permits C-4 uses, which only allows residential uses above certain commercial uses. The request also includes variances to loading space size and the minimum number of loading spaces required. Additionally, future development parcels may not meet code required parking on-site, but rather will meet code requirements with a combination of on-site and off-site parking, provided the off-site parking spaces are within 750 feet of the use they serve. The request will permit mixed-use development consistent with the recommendation from the Far North Area Plan (2014) for “Regional Mixed-use” land uses at this location, and will not add incompatible uses to the area.
Title
To grant a Variance from the provisions of Sections 3356.03, C-4 permitted uses; 3312.49(C), Minimum numbers of parking spaces required; 3312.51, Loading space; and 3312.53, Minimum number of loading spaces required, of the Columbus City Codes; for the property located at 2114 IKEA WAY (43240), to permit ground floor residential uses with reduced development standards in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District (Council Variance #CV19-034).
