Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-077
APPLICANT: You Know It Takes A Village LLC; c/o Laura MacGregor Comek, Atty.; 17 South High Street, Suite 700; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Shared living facility.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-4, Residential District. A Council variance is required because the R-4 district does not allow shared living facilities, while the applicant proposes such a use with a maximum of eight residents. The request also includes variances to parking and side yards for existing nonconforming conditions. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the East Columbus Neighborhood Plan (2012), which recommends “Medium Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location. Although the Plan does not address shared living facilities, the request is consistent with the recommendation for mixed-residential development. Staff has no objection to the requested use, which must comply with Ohio Revised Code requirements, be issued a rooming house license, and be inspected yearly by the Division of Code Enforcement. The Division of Traffic Management is in support of the request for no parking spaces as the residents will be under the age of 16 and will not be able to drive.
