Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-048
APPLICANT: Healthy Homes; c/o Emily Long Rayfield; P.O. Box 77499; Columbus, OH 43207.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
NORTH LINDEN AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow a two-unit dwelling to be constructed on the site. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district allows only single-unit dwellings. Variances to the lot width, lot area, and building and parking setbacks are included in this request. The site is within the boundaries of the North Linden Neighborhood Plan Amendment (2014), which recommends “Medium Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Staff finds the proposal to be consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, C2P2 Design Guidelines, and the existing development pattern in this neighborhood.
