The Council Variance (CV24-149) application seeks to reduce the perimeter yard from 25 feet to 5 feet and increase the garage building height from 15 feet to 16 feet for a proposed 48-unit apartment complex. The 1.98-acre site is currently undeveloped and pending rezoning to L-AR-1, Limited Apartment Residential District (Z24-065). The requested variances are necessary to allow the proposed development, which is designed to adhere to Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines, particularly regarding parking placement behind buildings and garage roof pitch. Staff analysis indicates that granting the variances would not adversely affect surrounding properties or governmental services, and the property's irregular shape makes development difficult without the variances. The Greater Southeast Area Commission recommended approval with a vote of 6 YES, 0 NAY.
