Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV21-037

APPLICANT: CGV, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.

ITALIAN VILLAGE 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 #2699-2021; Z21-026) to the AR-3, Apartment Residential, and AR-1, Apartment Residential districts to allow multi-unit residential development. The requested Council variance will permit the development of 261 dwelling units with 330 surface and structured parking spaces on Site 1 in the AR-3 district, and 130 dwelling units with 170 surface and structured parking spaces on Site 2 in the AR-1 district. Variances are requested to allow commercial access through the site for the adjacent Clark Grave Vault Company, and to reduce aisle width, maneuvering area, frontage, perimeter yard, and building line, and to increase building height. Staff finds the requested variances to be supportable as they are consistent with recent similar urban in-fill residential developments, and achieves a mix of uses along the East 5th Avenue corridor as recommended by the Italian Village East Redevelopment Plan.
