Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z20-033
APPLICANT: Lawrence Y. Shin; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two three-unit dwellings.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-1) on November 12, 2020.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two contiguous parcels, each developed with a single-unit dwelling. One parcel is zoned in the R-3, Residential district, and the other parcel is zoned in the ARLD, Apartment Residential district. The applicant proposes the ARLD, Apartment Residential District and to combine the lots and permit two three-unit dwellings on one lot. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not recommend a land use for this location, but recommends that new housing be consistent with the housing types, density, and development pattern of the neighborhood. The request will allow a residential development that is compatible with adjacent residential developments. Planning staff notes the proposed loss of existing contributing structures; and although the preservation and renovation of existing structures is preferred as a "crucial aspect of the revitalization of the Near East Side," per the Near East Area Plan, the state of advanced deterioration presents challenges for full preservation. Additionally, Planning staff finds the conceptual elevations for the proposed new housing compatible with the nearby environment and consistent with the Plan's design guidelines, making this proposal supportable. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #2795-2020; CV20-038) has been submitted to vary lot area, fronting, building setback, rear yard, side yard obstruction, and maneuvering.
