Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-044
APPLICANT: Healthy Linden Homes VI, LLC, c/o Emily Long Rayfield; PO Box 77499; Columbus, OH 43207.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
NORTH LINDEN AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.16± acre site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the R-3, Residential District. The applicant proposes to develop the site with a four-unit dwelling, as demonstrated on the submitted site plan. The requested Council variance is necessary because single-unit dwellings are the only allowable residential use in the R-3, Residential District. Variances to allow reduced building lines, side yard, and required parking are also included in this request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the North Linden Neighborhood Plan Amendment (2014), which recommends “Medium Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location, and this proposal is consistent with that recommendation. Additionally, Staff is supportive of the proposed density, and notes that this site is in close proximity to an existing transit corridor. The proposal is also consistent with the City’s goal of creating more housing in all areas of the city.
