A Council Variance application (CV23-093) was submitted for the property at 2433 Teakwood Drive in Columbus, Ohio. The request seeks to permit the use of the 0.58-acre, AR-12 zoned property and its existing 4,894 SF structure as a shared living facility for voluntary recovery occupants, which currently provides 23 beds. The variance also includes a reduction in required parking from 13 spaces to 4 spaces, justified by the fact that occupants do not have personal vehicles and transport shuttles are provided. The Northland Community Council Development Committee reviewed the application on February 28, 2024, and voted 14-2, with 1 abstention, to recommend approval. The applicant argued that the proposal is consistent with the mixed-use character of the surrounding area and will not negatively impact neighbors or city services. Furthermore, it aligns with Ohio's efforts to facilitate the rehabilitation of citizens.
