PROPOSED USE: Single- and two-unit dwelling development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on June 10, 2021.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a parking lot in the L-P-1, Limited Parking District, which previously served a former off-site eating and drinking establishment located on an adjacent parcel. The requested R-2F, Residential District, will permit single-unit and two-unit residential development. The site is within the boundaries of the Harrison West Plan (2005), which recommends single- and two-unit residential land uses at this location. The site is also within an area that includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance # 1774-2021; CV20-133) has been filed on this site and the adjacent parcel to the north that was occupied by the former restaurant to permit three single-unit dwellings, one two-unit dwelling, and one detached garage on five newly-created lots with reduced development standards. Staff finds the requested rezoning consistent with the Plan’s residential recommendation and with established zoning and development pattern of the area.
