Columbus officials will consider approvals tonight to move forward with a new affordable housing complex on 14th Street.

The developers of the planned Flats on 14th Street project. TWG Development, are requesting approval for several variances to Columbus zoning ordinances from the Columbus Board of Zoning Appeals. The project, to be built at 14th Street and Michigan Avenue would bring 110 housing units to the city.

The developers are asking the city board to approve the 110 units, 30 more than the normally allowed 80 units. They are also asking to only build 124 parking spaces, instead of the required 165, and to provide less than the normally require buffer space on the east and southwest property lines.

The city planning staff is recommending approval of all the variances. The property is already zoned Residential: Multi-family.

The board meets at 6:30 p.m. tonight at Columbus City Hall.
