The staff report concerns a request to rezone an undeveloped 0.12-acre parcel at 786-788 Seymour Ave. in Columbus, OH, from R-2F (Residential District) to R-4 (Residential District). The applicant, Rob Ellis, proposes a three-unit dwelling on the site. The existing zoning only allows two-unit dwellings. A concurrent Council variance (CV24-167) addresses variances for lot width, lot area, required parking, and side yards for the proposed three-unit dwelling, but this variance will be heard by City Council and is not considered in this Development Commission meeting. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Near Southside Area Plan (2011), which recommends "Medium Density Mixed Residential" land uses. The Livingston Avenue Area Commission recommended approval. City departments also recommend approval, stating the proposed R-4 zoning and residential development are consistent with the Near Southside Area Plan and the existing development pattern, without adding an incompatible use to the area.
