Explanation
Rezoning Application Z24-078
APPLICANT: EREG Housing Preservation LLC, c/o Thaddeus M. Boggs, Atty.; 10 West Broad Street, Fl. 23; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on July 10, 2025.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 3.96± acre site consists of a single parcel developed with a telecommunications tower in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The requested AR-3, Apartment Residential District will allow for multi-unit residential development. This rezoning request fulfills a required condition of Ordinance #0478-2025 (CV24-168), passed Marh 3, 2025, to acquire proper zoning for a proposed affordable senior assisted living facility (rest home). The site is within the planning area of the South East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Mixed Use 1 (16-24 du/acre)” land uses at this location. The proposed AR-3, Apartment Residential District is consistent with the Plan’s recommended land use. A concurrent Council Variance (CV25-071) is also pending for variances to conform an existing monopole telecommunications antenna, and to potentially reduce the required rear yard and required number of parking spaces. As the applicant is still refining the site plan for the proposed senior assisted living project, that ordinance will be submitted to City Council in the near future. The requested AR-3 district is supported as it is consistent with the South East Land Use Plan’s recommended land use, and the City’s objective of creating more housing in all neighborhoods throughout Columbus.
