Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-145

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

PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.

NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels; one is developed with a parking lot in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District and the other is undeveloped in the R-2F, Residential District.

This proposed multi-unit residential development is aimed at providing affordable housing for senior and will be subject to a competitive funding process by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which requires certain land attributes including compliant zoning. Staff supports the Council variance process to assist in this federal funding application process as Rezoning Application #Z23-010, a request for the AR-O, Apartment Office District, has been filed and is in the formal review process.
