Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV21-115

APPLICANT: 520 Columbus, LLC; c/o Michael Shannon, Atty.; Underhill & Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.

PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.

BREWERY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with an eating and drinking establishment in the C-4, Commercial District subject to the South High Street/South Front Street Urban Commercial Overlay. The site received approval for an 85-space parking reduction from the Board of Zoning Adjustment in 2014. The Applicant is requesting a Council variance to permit a mixed-use development containing up to 7,650 square feet of retail uses and 67 apartment units. Variances for increased building height, required bicycle parking location and a parking space reduction from 117 required to 68 provided spaces are included in the request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Brewery District Plan (1995), which does not contain a specific land use recommendation for this location, however, the final design of the proposed building will need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Brewery District Commission. The Applicant completed a parking study and received support for the parking variance from the Department of Public Service. Staff finds the proposed mixed-use building and requested variances to be consistent with development pattern of South High Street and similar infill projects in historic urban neighborhoods.
