Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV11-014
APPLICANT: Thomas R. Perrault, c/o Brad Fry, Agent; 6329 Perimeter Loop Road; Dublin, OH 43017.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This request will conform an existing two-unit dwelling in the SR, Suburban Residential District. A variance for the dwelling's non-conforming rear yard is included in the request. A Council variance is necessary because a two-unit dwelling is not a permitted use in the SR, Suburban Residential District, and a hardship exists because the non-conforming nature of the site precludes financing options. When the original building permit was issued in 1967, it was noted that the lot was zoned R-2F, Residential District in error. Staff has discovered that this same error also occurred for the two-unit dwelling immediately to the south (6093-6095 Northgap Drive) which is not part of this variance request. The two-unit dwelling has been long established on this lot, and is consistent with existing development in the surrounding residential neighborhood. Approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area. Zoning Staff believes that it would be appropriate to rezone this site and the property to the immediate south to the R-2F, Residential District, and is considering the pursuit of a City-sponsored rezoning.
