A request to rezone the property at 1560 Clara Avenue from R-2, Residential District (Duplex), to C-4, Commercial District (Commercial Services), with an associated Council Variance. The proposed development is for a mixed-use project featuring commercial spaces on the ground floor and residential units above. The site is located south of the CSX railroad tracks, east of Grove City Road, and west of State Route 104. The applicant intends to construct a building that will house various commercial uses, including retail and office spaces, along with an unspecified number of residential units. The rezoning is necessary to accommodate the commercial component and higher density residential use. The Council Variance addresses specific development standards that deviate from the standard C-4 district requirements, likely pertaining to setbacks, height, or parking, to facilitate the proposed design. The decision was approved by the City Council.
