Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z21-033
APPLICANT: Hammer Out Homes; c/o Juliet Bullock; 1182 Wyandotte Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on July 8, 2021.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and zoned in the L-C-4, Limited Commercial District which permits unspecified limited commercial uses. The requested R-3, Residential District would allow the site to be developed with a single-unit dwelling. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends “Higher Density Residential/Mixed Use Development” land uses at this location. The Plan also states new construction should use compatible materials with the surrounding area, but not be duplicative. Additionally, the Plan includes standards for new garages. The request is compatible with the density and development standards of adjacent residential properties and is consistent with the land use recommendations of the Near East Area Plan. The Planning Division has reviewed conceptual site plan and building elevation details to confirm consistency with the Near East Area Plan and C2P2 Design Guidelines.
