Multi-Family Demolition Application Filed for 47 E. Frambes Ave.
The filing to raze a three-story apartment building follows a voided commercial application on the site of a proposed student housing complex.
A multi-family demolition permit application was filed Oct. 30 to raze a three-story, 10,260-square-foot apartment building to grade at 47 E. Frambes Ave. City parcel records and design filings show the address forms part of a roughly two-acre site where developer RPM Living proposed a seven-story student housing complex near North High Street.
City of Columbus staff previously voided an initial commercial demolition application for 47 E. Frambes Ave. on Oct. 13 after noting the property contains rental apartments. The active permit application seeks multi-family demolition authorization to raze the 10,260-square-foot apartment building to grade.
City records confirm that razing permits have not been issued, and the underlying redevelopment remains pending design review. The permit applications initiate University Area Commission review for the sites ahead of the proposed seven-story redevelopment. Before any construction can proceed, the developer must obtain design clearance from the review board and satisfy municipal zoning compliance reviews. At its Oct. 23 hearing, the University Impact District Review Board took no formal vote to grant or reject design approval, requiring the developer to return with revisions before a Certificate of Appropriateness can be issued.
Previously, Pique reported demolition applications filed for commercial buildings at High and Frambes and reported a demolition permit application filed for 15 E. Frambes Ave..
