This rezoning and variance application seeks to convert an extended-stay hotel into an apartment complex with 114 units on 3.3 acres at 4480 DeSantis Ct, Columbus, Ohio. The rezoning changes the zoning from LC-4, Limited Commercial District, to AR-O, Apartment Office District. Variances are requested to reduce the parking setback from 25 to 10 feet, the building setback from 60 to 50 feet, and the perimeter yard from 25 to 5 feet. The changes reflect the site's existing conditions and are necessary for the site's conversion from commercial to residential zoning. The property includes 208 parking spaces and four buildings.
The rezoning will allow for more affordable and insurable use of the site, transforming it into a fully residential apartment complex. This supports the City's housing objectives without significantly altering the site’s use or layout.
