PROPOSED USE: Single-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on July 13, 2023.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of three undeveloped parcels in the C-4, Commercial and P-1, Private Parking districts. The requested R-4, Residential District will allow three single-unit dwellings on the existing lots. The site is within the planning area of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “Medium-High Density Residential” land uses at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Staff supports the requested R-4 district as the proposed single-unit dwellings are consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation and the existing development and zoning pattern of the neighborhood, and will provide additional housing consistent with the City’s objectives. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #2517-2023; CV23-005) has been filed and includes a variance to reduce the required building setback.
