Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-025

APPLICANT: Jordan Fillmore; P.O. Box 16173; Columbus, OH 43216.

PROPOSED USE: Shared Living Facility.

GREATER HILLTOP COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel that has been approved for an 8-space parking lot (CV21-014/ORD #1319-2021) in the R-4, Residential District. The applicant requests a Council variance to permit the construction of a shared living facility. A Council variance is necessary because the R-4 district does not permit a shared living facility. The applicant operates an existing shared living facility on the adjacent parcel to the north that received a Council variance (CV13-029/ORD #2025-2013) for the use and reduced parking and setbacks in 2013, and this proposal represents an expansion of the existing programming offered by the facility. Included in the request are variances to reduce parking (from 34 spaces to 8 spaces), maximum side yard, minimum side yard, and rear yard. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Hilltop Land Use Plan (2019), which recommends “Medium-High Density” residential uses, and includes adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018) which indicate institutional uses are appropriate in a variety of locations. Staff supports the proposed use and variances as the request supplements an existing institutional use, and notes that the proximity to transit along Sullivant Avenue and the proposed landscaping are consistent with C2P2 guidelines.
