Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z22-003
APPLICANT: Healthy Rental Homes LLC; c/o Elizabeth Seedorf, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on August 11, 2022.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.51± acre site consists of three undeveloped parcels in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. One of the parcels was formerly developed with the Southside Learning and Development Center which has recently been demolished. The requested R-2F, Residential District will permit the development of four two-unit dwellings on four reconfigured parcels. The site is located within the planning area of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “Institutional” land uses at this location, and includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). While the residential proposal is inconsistent with this recommendation, it is compatible with the surrounding development pattern, and is not considered to be an introduction of an incompatible use. The Planning Division is supportive of the proposal, but notes an initial request to preserve the learning center structure at 255 Reeb Avenue, as recommended by the Plan and C2P2 Design Guidelines. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #2382-2022; CV22-003) has been filed and includes variances for reduced development standards for each lot.
