Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-046
APPLICANT: HNHF Realty Collaborative - Healthy Homes; c/o Emily Long Rayfield; P.O. Box 77499; Columbus, OH 43211.
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 property. A variance is required because the R-3 district does not allow two-unit dwellings. Variances to lot width, and building and parking setbacks are included in this request. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the North Linden Neighborhood Plan Amendment (2014), which recommends “Medium Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes complete adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Staff supports the requested use and building design as both are consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation and C2P2 design guidelines, and notes that the proposal provides additional housing as prioritized in citywide initiatives.
