Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV21-124

APPLICANT: Plaza Properties; c/o Jackson B. Reynolds, III, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Reduced development standards for an existing multi-unit residential development.

5TH BY NORTHWEST AREA 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 request to the AR-2, Apartment Residential District (Ordinance #0941-2022; Z21-095) to conform an existing multi-unit residential development. The requested Council variance conforms existing conditions of this 42-unit apartment complex (42.42 du/ac). Standards variances are requested for landscaping and screening, parking setback, required parking, minimum side yard, and rear yard to account for the development’s existing conditions. Staff finds the proposal supportable because the variances are reflective of as-built conditions and the existing development pattern along King Avenue.
