Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z18-044
APPLICANT: Greg Chalfant; 5801 East Livingston Avenue; Columbus, OH 43232.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwellings.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on November 8, 2018.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two undeveloped parcels in the R-1, Residential District. The applicant is requesting the R-2F, Residential District to permit one- or two-unit dwellings on each lot. The site is within the boundaries of the Far East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Very Low Density Residential” land uses at this location. The request allows for an appropriate step-down in density from the Brice Road commercial corridor east of the site, to the single-unit dwellings west of the site. It will not introduce incompatible uses to the neighborhood, and it is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation.
