Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-059
APPLICANT: Healthy Homes; c/o Emily Long Rayfield; PO Box 77499; Columbus, OH 43207
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
SOUTH LINDEN AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of an undeveloped parcel in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow a two-unit dwelling. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district only allows a single-unit dwelling as the primary residential use. Variances for lot width and lot area are also included in the request. The site is located with the planning boundaries of the South Linden Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Medium Density Residential (10-16 du/ac)” land uses at this location. Staff supports the request as it is generally consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, is consistent with the existing residential development pattern of the neighborhood, and does not add an incompatible use to the area.
