Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-127

APPLICANT: Healthy Linden Homes; c/o Emily Long Rayfield; P.O. Box 77499; Columbus, OH 43207.

PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.

SOUTH LINDEN AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the R-3, Residential District, formerly developed with a two-unit dwelling. The requested Council variance will permit a new two-unit dwelling to be constructed on the site. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district permits only single-unit dwellings. Variances to reduce the lot width, lot area, and a parking reduction from four required to three provided spaces are included with this request. The site is within the boundaries of the South Linden Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Medium-High Density Residential” land uses at this location, which is consistent with the proposal. Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018) recommend that the design and character of new development, including homes, additions, and garages, be appropriate and reflect the nearby structures in terms of height, width, setbacks, lot coverage, and roof pitch. The guidelines also call for front porches, parking located to the rear, open space, street trees, and landscaping. Staff finds that the proposal is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendations, C2P2 Design Guidelines, and development pattern in this neighborhood. As the proposal fits within the larger development pattern of the neighborhood, the request does not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
