The City Council of Columbus granted a comprehensive variance for a mixed-use development at 531 W. 5th Avenue. This approval allows for significant deviations from current zoning code provisions across multiple subareas, addressing various aspects such as building height, parking requirements, setbacks, landscaping, and lot coverage. The project involves a mix of commercial, apartment residential, institutional, and rural districts, and proposes ground-floor residential uses, increased building heights (up to 80 feet in Subarea A and 70 feet in Subareas B and C, and 40 feet in Subareas E and G), and reduced parking spaces (e.g., 120 spaces for a 153-room hotel in Subarea A, 127 for 149 required in Subarea B, and 492 for 646 required in Subarea C). Additionally, it permits 26 and 16 detached single-unit dwellings on one lot in R-3 districts (Subareas E and G respectively) where only one is typically allowed, and a privately-owned park in a Rural District. The variance also modifies various setback lines, perimeter yard requirements, vision clearance triangles, and allows increased garage heights. This variance revokes a previous ordinance (Ordinance #1941-2021) related to earlier approved variances for the same site.
