Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV21-107

APPLICANT: National Church Residences; c/o Matthew Bierlein; 2335 North Bank Drive; Columbus, OH 43220.

PROPOSED USE: Senior housing development.

WESTLAND 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-1, Apartment Residential District (Ordinance #0943-2022; Z21-088) for a multi-unit residential development. The requested Council variance proposes a 92-unit senior housing development. Standards variances are requested for increased building height from 35 feet to 50 feet, reduced parking from 138 required spaces to 70 provided spaces, and reduced building lines from 60 feet along Galloway Road to 8 feet, and from 80 feet along West Broad Street to 67 feet. Staff supports the requested variances as they achieve a site design, including building placement and additional landscaping, screening, and street trees separating the sidewalk from Galloway Road, consistent with Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018).
