Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-082
APPLICANT: LGR Investments, LLC; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway; New Albany, OH 43209.
PROPOSED USE: Four-unit dwelling.
COLUMBUS SOUTHSIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a two-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit redevelopment of the site with a four-unit dwelling. A Council variance is necessary because the R-2F district only permits single- and two-unit dwellings. The request includes variances to area district requirements, building lines, minimum and maximum side yards, and rear yard. The site is within the planning boundaries of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends medium-high density residential land uses for this location. Additionally, the Plan includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Although the proposed density exceeds the maximum density recommend by one unit, Staff can support the increased density due to the inclusion of C2P2 Design Guidelines such as permeable pavers in the drive aisle, additional street trees and bicycle parking, a commitment to building materials, and a commitment to building elevations.
