Columbus City Council approved a variance for a 126-unit apartment complex at 3459 Trabue Road, allowing reduced development standards and the retention of an existing monopole telecommunication antenna. The variances address modifications to sections 3333.02 (use), 3312.21 (landscaping and screening), 3333.18 (building lines), and 3333.255 (perimeter yard) of the Columbus City Codes. Specifically, the approval permits a reduced parking lot landscape buffer from four feet to one foot, a building setback line reduction from 60 feet to five feet along Trabue Road, and reduced perimeter yards ranging from one to ten feet instead of 25 feet. The project is a continuation of an adjacent apartment complex, and the site is approximately 4.7 acres. The West Scioto Area Commission and City Departments recommended approval, noting consistency with the Trabue Robert Area Plan's design guidelines for a less suburban context. The ordinance includes commitments for traffic-related contributions totaling $68,482 for future road improvements.
