Variance application proposes 217-unit apartment building on Kimberly Parkway
The proposal seeks reduced facade window transparency at 2304 Kimberly Pkwy ahead of Mideast Area Commission review.
A new variance application filed with the City of Columbus proposes constructing a five-story, 217-unit apartment building at 2304 Kimberly Pkwy. The site is located along Kimberly Parkway in southeast Columbus.
According to city zoning records, the filing requests a variance under Columbus City Code Section 34.E.20.080.F Community Activity Center façade standards to reduce required window transparency to 15 percent. Standard zoning code provisions require 40 percent window transparency along building facades in the district.
The proposal is scheduled for review by the Mideast Area Commission on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026. Subsequent steps listed on the application include city staff review and a Board of Zoning Adjustment order.
The public detail page for the record lists zero documents. The file currently includes no uploaded site plans, architectural elevations, or developer contact details.
Municipal records maintain an active BZA variance file for the property. The filing represents an initial regulatory request rather than an approved project, with formal city approval still required before any work could proceed.
The filing is listed under record BZA26-134. Residents tracking the proposal can reference the application number before the commission and city boards.
