Council approves rezoning to allow 126-unit apartment project on Trebe Road
Summary
The council rezoned a 4.7-acre parcel at 3459 Trebe Road to permit a 126-unit apartment complex, approving related variances for setbacks and parking screening; the measure passed following staff and neighborhood-area commission recommendations.
Columbus City Council approved a rezoning and companion variances to allow a proposed 126-unit apartment complex on a 4.7-acre parcel at 3459 Trebe Road.
The rezoning from CPD (Commercial Planned Development) and AR-1 (Apartment Residential) will allow the developer to construct a multi-building apartment project. Council considered the rezoning on a motion to amend and then to pass; the West Side Area Commission had recommended approval, and city staff supported the proposal.
Companion variances considered and approved at the same meeting included reductions to parking lot screening widths (from 4 feet to 1 foot), a west building setback change (from 60 feet to 5 feet), and reductions to required perimeter yard widths (from 25 feet to between 1 and 10 feet). The record also noted the project is a continuation of an existing apartment complex to the east that was approved by earlier ordinances.
Councilmember Dorrance, chairing the zoning committee, moved to amend and then for passage; the council adopted the staff report into evidence before taking final votes. No public speaker slips were registered against the project during this meeting’s zoning session, and the West Side Area Commission’s recommendation was recorded in the staff report.
The ordinance and variances were recorded as passed on the council floor. No additional conditions were included in the public record at the time of passage.
