Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV21-033
APPLICANT: Magnolia Trace, LLC; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill & Hodge; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
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 #1813-2021; Z21-022) to the AR-1, Apartment Residential District. The requested variance will permit a 72-unit apartment complex on two parcels which are unable to be combined due to having different tax districts. Variances to permitted uses, screening, maneuvering, parking space, minimum number of parking spaces required, area district requirements, building line, perimeter yard, and side and rear yards are included in the request. The requested variances are supportable as they do not add incompatible uses to the area, and mostly result from parcels not being able to be combined.
