Demolition Permit Application Filed for 15 E. Frambes Ave.
The filing outlines plans to raze a two-story commercial building to grade as part of a pending student housing redevelopment near North High Street.
A commercial demolition permit application was filed Thursday, Oct. 29, seeking to raze a two-story, 2,700-square-foot commercial building to grade at 15 E. Frambes Ave. The property is located in the University District near North High Street and forms part of the site where developer RPM Living has proposed a seven-story, 228-unit student housing complex.
On Oct. 9, an initial commercial demolition application was filed for 15 E. Frambes Ave. seeking demolition of a two-story commercial structure under University Area Commission review. The Oct. 29 application updates that clearance scope on the parcel to specify demolition of a two-story, 2,700-square-foot commercial building to grade.
City records confirm that razing permits have not been issued for 15 East Frambes Avenue. In municipal portal records, the commercial demolition filing for 15 E. Frambes Ave. remains in active status. The applicant and contractor remain unspecified in municipal portal records.
Both filings initiate municipal demolition review before the University Area Commission. Before any construction can proceed, the developer must satisfy municipal zoning compliance reviews and obtain separate commercial building and demolition permits from the Columbus Department of Building and Zoning Services.
RPM Living's proposed student housing redevelopment for 2060 N. High St. remains pending after the University Impact District Review Board continued the Certificate of Appropriateness application without taking a vote at its Oct. 23 hearing.
Previously, Pique reported demolition applications filed for commercial buildings at High and Frambes and reported that the RPM Living application reached continued status for 2060 N. High St.
