Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV25-121

APPLICANT: Healthy Homes c/o Gretchen West; PO 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 in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the site to be developed with a two-unit dwelling. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district prohibits two-unit dwellings. A variance to reduce required parking from four to two spaces is also included in this request. The proposal is consistent with the South Linden Land Use Plan’s (2018) recommendation of “Low-Medium Density Residential (6-10 du/ac),” and will not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
