Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-047
APPLICANT: Healthy Homes; c/o Emily Long Rayfield; PO Box 77499; Columbus, OH 43207
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
NORTH LINDEN AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of an undeveloped parcel in the C-4, Commercial District. The requested Council variance will allow a two-unit dwelling, and is required because the C-4 district does not allow ground floor residential uses. Variances for building setbacks, parking setbacks, and parking lot screening are also included in the request. The site is located with the planning boundaries of the North Linden Neighborhood Plan Amendment (2014), which recommends “Medium Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location. Staff supports the request as it is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation and the existing residential development pattern of the neighborhood, and does not add an incompatible use to the area.
