Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV21-147
APPLICANT: Greenway Holdings, LLC; c/o Daniel Soroka, Agent; 1614 South High Street; Columbus, OH 43207.
PROPOSED USE: Eight-unit apartment building.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a nonconforming eight-unit apartment building in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will conform the existing use while adding new parking. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district permits single-unit dwellings as the only allowable residential use. The request includes variances to aisle width, parking lot screening, and a reduction of seven required parking spaces. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends “Lower and Medium Density Residential” land uses at this location. City staff supports the requested variances and notes the provided landscaping along Greenway Avenue and the white vinyl privacy fence along the east side of the proposed parking lot are consistent with the Plan’s design guidelines.
