Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-055
APPLICANT: Christine Wooten; 2866 Oaklawn Street; Columbus, OH 43224
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
NORTH LINDEN AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on the rear of the lot, resulting in two single-unit dwellings on one lot. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district only allows one single-unit dwelling per lot. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the North Linden Neighborhood Plan Amendment (2014), which recommends “Low-Medium Density Residential” land uses at this location, and includes the early adoption of Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Variances to lot area, fronting, and rear yard are also included in this request. Staff supports the requested variances as the proposed use is consistent with the residential character of the neighborhood and does not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
