Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-118
APPLICANT: Healthy Homes c/o Gretchen West; P.O. Box 77499; Columbus, OH 43207.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
SOUTH LINDEN AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel that was formerly developed with a two-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow construction of a new two-unit dwelling, which is not an allowed use in the R-3 district. Variances to reduce required parking, lot area, and lot width are included in this request. The requested use is consistent with the South Linden Land Use Plan’s (2018) land use recommendation of “Medium-High Density Residential (16-24 du/ac).” Additionally, several two-unit dwellings exist or have been recently approved and constructed in this immediate area. The requested variances are comparable to similar residential infill projects in urban neighborhoods, and will not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
