The project at 846-848 Seymour Avenue in Columbus, OH, involves a concurrent rezoning from the R-2F Residential District to the R-4 Residential District and a Council variance (CV24-164) to allow for the construction of a three-story stacked residential triplex. The 0.11-acre undeveloped parcel is located on the east side of Seymour Avenue. The requested Council variance seeks relief from several zoning standards, including lot width, lot area, side yard setbacks, and a reduction in required parking spaces from six to three. This proposed development aligns with the Near Southside Area Plan's recommendation for "Medium Density Mixed Residential" land uses. Both city staff and the Livingston Avenue Area Commission recommended approval of the application, with the commission voting 8-0-1 in favor. The total heated square footage of the triplex will be 2,004 SF.
