The Columbus City Council Zoning Committee has recommended approval for a Council Variance (CV24-091) for a 29.2-acre site at 1470 N. Hague Avenue. This variance is tied to a rezoning request (Z24-035) to L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential District, to allow for the development of an apartment complex. The requested variances include reducing the building setback along North Hague Avenue from 40 feet to 15 feet for a utility building, reducing the perimeter yard for detached garage buildings along the railway line from 25 feet to 5 feet, and increasing the allowable garage building height from 15 feet to 16 feet. The site consists of three parcels, with existing zoning of M-2 (Manufacturing) and R (Rural) districts. The West Scioto Area Commission recommended approval by a vote of 4 in favor, 1 opposed, and 1 abstention. Staff also concurs with the applicant's analysis of practical difficulties and recommends approval, noting the development's consistency with C2P2 Design Guidelines for tree preservation and design features.
