Council hears proposals to transfer city parcels to housing partners for new single-family homes in Jefferson neighborhood
Summary
Staff outlined plans to transfer multiple small city-owned parcels to neighborhood housing organizations, including Neighborhood Housing Services, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati and CORE, for construction of new single-family homes; parcels will be surveyed and replatted.
City planning staff presented proposals to transfer several city-owned parcels in the Jefferson neighborhood to nonprofit housing partners for the construction of new single-family homes.
Lauren Nelson, Director of Planning, said three parcels on East Avenue would transfer to Neighborhood Housing Services to be surveyed and replatted into two lots for two new homes; separate parcels on Maple Avenue and Ludlow Street are proposed for transfer to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati; and parcels at 936 and 938 East Avenue (with 934 already owned by CIC) are proposed to transfer to CORE for two new homes after replatting.
Nelson said each transfer requires surveying and replatting so that smaller existing parcels are combined into buildable lots. She showed a map locating the parcels (one parcel near Garcia's Market at 664 East Avenue was used as a visual reference) and said the parcels would result in the construction of multiple single-family residences to increase homeownership opportunities in the neighborhood.
No formal vote on the transfers was recorded during the meeting; staff presented the proposals for council review and asked if there were questions. Council and staff indicated support and moved on to other agenda items.
