The project involves a rezoning from R2F to R4 for a three-story, three-unit residential triplex located at 786-788 Seymour Avenue in Columbus, OH. The 0.11-acre parcel, currently undeveloped, also sought a Council Variance to reduce development standards, specifically for required parking (from 6 to 3 spaces), lot width (from 50 feet to 36.5 feet), and lot size (to 4,928 SF for a three-family dwelling). The proposed triplex has a total heated area of 2,004 SF and a building footprint of 910 SF. The site is situated within the planning boundaries of the Near Southside Area Plan (2011), which recommends "Medium Density Mixed Residential" land uses. City Staff recommended approval, noting consistency with the area plan and design guidelines. The Livingston Avenue Area Commission also recommended approval with an 8-0-1 vote on January 21, 2025.
