Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z25-058
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 (6-0) on December 11, 2025.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 4.32± acre site consists of five parcels developed with single-unit dwellings within the R-1, Residential District. The requested AR-3, Apartment Residential District will allow the intended development of an assisted living facility (rest home), or other multi-unit residential development. Concurrent Council Variance Ordinance #0401-2026 (CV25-101) demonstrates a 120-unit assisted living facility, and includes a variance to reduce required parking from 90 to 70 spaces. Although the proposal is inconsistent with the Northeast Area Plan’s (2007) land use recommendation of “Open Space/Stream Buffer” uses at this location, it is consistent with the Plan’s goal of providing a mix of housing opportunities and price points throughout the neighborhood. Additionally, this request fulfills a condition of Ordinance #1867-2025 (CV25-042), passed July 14, 2025, requiring a follow-up rezoning within three years of the effective date of that ordinance, and is also consistent with City priorities for providing more affordable housing options.
