The City of Columbus Council granted a variance for two parcels at 1850 & 1870 Tanis Dr, allowing them to be combined and re-subdivided into three new lots. The decision permits the development of two new two-unit dwellings (duplexes) on Lot 1 and Lot 2, while an existing single-unit dwelling is retained on Lot 3. This variance allows duplexes in the R, Rural District, which typically restricts development to single-unit dwellings. Additionally, variances were approved for reduced lot areas (0.11 acres for Lot 1 & 2, 0.13 acres for Lot 3, from a required five acres), reduced maximum side yard for Lot 3 (18.9 ft from 19 ft), and reduced rear yards (15.9% for Lot 1 & 2, 16% for Lot 3, from 25%). The Southwest Area Commission and City Departments recommended approval, citing consistency with the Southwest Area Plan's 'Low Density Residential' recommendation and C2P2 Design Guidelines. The approval is conditioned on the site being developed in general conformance with the site plan dated September 8, 2025, and obtaining all applicable permits and certificates of occupancy.
