Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-039

APPLICANT: Preferred Living; c/o David Hodge, Atty; Underhill and Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.

PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.

5TH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and from the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning request to the AR-3, Apartment Residential District (Ordinance #2651-2022; Z22-030), permitting a multi-unit residential development. The requested Council variance commits to a site plan that demonstrates a mixed-use development containing 180 apartment units and 2,214 2,134 square feet of commercial space. A council variance is necessary because commercial uses are not permitted in the AR-3, Apartment Residential District. The request also includes variances to building height, parking spaces, maneuvering, bicycle parking location, lot coverage, building setbacks, and rear yard, some of which are technical variances due to the site being comprised of three parcels which cannot be combined. The proposal commits to a site plan and building elevations that are consistent with both the 5th by Northwest Area Plan's (2009) recommendations and with Columbus City Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018).

Title

To grant a Variance from the provisions of Sections 3333.03, AR-3 Apartment residential district use; 3309.14, Height districts; 3312.25, Maneuvering; 3312.29, Parking space; 3312.49(A)(1)(C), Minimum numbers of parking spaces required; 3333.15(C), Basis of computing area; 3333.18, Building lines; and 3333.24, Rear yard, of the Columbus City Codes; for the property located at 1138 CHAMBERS RD. (43212), to permit mixed-use development with reduced development standards in the AR-3, Apartment Residential District (Council Variance #CV22-039).
