Explanation
Rezoning Application Z24-058
APPLICANT: Dream Living LLC; c/o Brenda Parker, Agent; 405 North Front Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on April 10, 2025.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.10± acre site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the L-C-2, Limited Commercial District. The requested AR-1, Apartment Residential District will allow up to a four-unit dwelling at this location. The site is located within the planning area of the Near Southside Plan (2011), which recommends “Mixed Use (Neighborhood)” land uses at this location. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1370-2025; CV24-141) has been filed for a proposed two-unit dwelling with reduced lot width and side yard. Staff support the proposed district as it will allow uses consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation. Additionally, the requested AR-1 district will match the existing zoning and development pattern to the west of the site and along this block of East Whittier Street. The proposed residential use is consistent with the existing uses in the surrounding area, and does not introduce and incompatible use to the neighborhood.
