Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV21-102
APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock; 1182 Wyandotte Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
LIVINGSTON AVENUE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two undeveloped parcels in the C-4, Commercial District, both of which are subject to the Livingston Avenue Urban Commercial Overlay (UCO). The requested Council variance will permit a mixed-use development containing 17 apartment units, including ground floor residential uses, and up to 1,000 square feet of retail or office uses. A variance is necessary because residential uses are only permitted above certain commercial uses in the C-4, Commercial District. Variances to reduce the required numbers of shade trees from 2 to 1 and parking spaces from 29 to 24 are included in this request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Near Southside Plan (2011), which recommends “Neighborhood Mixed-use” land uses at this location. The site is also in an area that has adopted Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The requested variances are supportable because the proposed mixed-use development is consistent with the recommended land use and historic development pattern along this section of East Livingston Avenue.
