Rezoning Application Z17-030
APPLICANT: Dean Richard Monnin; 188 East Tulane Road; Columbus, OH 43202.
PROPOSED USE: Two dwelling units.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on October 12, 2017.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
UNIVERSITY IMPACT DISTRICT REVIEW BOARD RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with two vacant utility buildings zoned in the C-4, Commercial District. The applicant is requesting the R-2F, Residential District to convert the buildings to two dwelling units. The site is within the planning area of the University District Plan (2015), which recommends “Neighborhood Mixed-Use” land uses at this location. Additionally, the site is located in a “Neighborhood Commercial” subarea within the University District Zoning Overlay. The proposed dwelling units are consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, are the result of an adaptive reuse of existing vacant utility buildings on site, and are compatible with the surrounding residential density. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance # 2980-2017; CV17-054) has been filed to permit two single-unit dwellings on one lot with reduced building design standards, area district requirements, and yard standards.
