Explanation
Rezoning Application Z12-047
APPLICANT: NRP Group LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Co. Inc.; 145 East Rich St., 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Plank Law Firm; 145 East Rich St., 3rd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (7-0) on October 11, 2012.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is comprised of three undeveloped lots which are zoned P-1, Private Parking District. The applicant requests the R-3, Residential District for the construction of three single-unit dwellings. Ordinance No. 1825-2012 (CV12-038) was approved at City Council on September 10, 2012, to allow the sale of the property to be completed and construction to begin on the dwellings before the rezoning is complete. The site is within the boundaries of The South Side Plan (2002), but there are no specific land use recommendations for this location. However, the Plan does stress the compatibility of land uses. Staff finds the proposed single-unit dwellings more suitable than a parking lot at this location, and the new dwellings will improve the available housing stock in the neighborhood. The proposal is consistent with established zoning and development patterns of the area.
