Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV23-023

APPLICANT: Community Housing Netword; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; Dave Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor, Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.

NORTHEAST 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 #2046-2023; Z23-016) to allow a multi-unit residential development. The requested Council variance proposes a 60-unit residential development, and includes variances for fronting and to reduce the minimum number of parking spaces from 90 required to 20 provided spaces. Staff supports the request as the included site plan demonstrates a multi-unit residential development that is consistent with the adjacent multi-unit residential development to the west, and is within close proximity to the nearby high intensity transit corridor, resulting in a lesser need for parking spaces.
