PROPOSED USE: Residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on January 14, 2021.
COLUMBUS SOUTHSIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel previously developed with a commercial building and currently used as a community garden zoned in the C-4, Commercial District. The requested R-2F, Residential District permits single-unit and two-unit residential development. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Near Southside Plan (2011), which recommends medium density mixed residential (6-10 du/acre) land uses at this location. The site is also within an area that has early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance # 0350-2021; CV20-090) has been submitted which proposes ten single-unit dwellings and detached garages on lots with reduced building lines, lot width, and area district requirements. Staff finds the requested rezoning consistent with the Plan’s residential recommendation and with established zoning and development pattern of the area.
