The Northland Community Council Development Committee recommended approval of a council variance application for the property at 2433 Teakwood Drive in Columbus, Ohio. The variance will permit the use of the 0.58-acre, 4,894 SF building, currently zoned AR-12 (Apartment Residential District), as a shared living facility for voluntary recovery occupants. This facility, known as Next Step Recovery Center LLC, currently has 23 beds. A key part of the request also involves a parking variance to reduce the required parking from 13 spaces to 4 spaces, including one ADA space. The applicant argued that the reduction would not negatively affect occupant mobility as residents do not have personal vehicles, relying on provided transport shuttles. The committee approved the recommendation by a 14-2 vote with one abstention. They encouraged the applicant to establish shared parking agreements with nearby non-residential properties to address the limited on-site parking for staff and residents.
