Explanation
Council Variance Application CV21-105
APPLICANT: GGS Holdings, LLC; c/o Justin Biggs; 900 Thomas Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: A one-unit dwelling and a four-unit dwelling.
GERMAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with two buildings originally constructed for residential uses but most recently used as offices in the C-4, Commercial District. The requested Council variance will allow the building fronting East Livingston Avenue to be used as a four-unit dwelling, and the rear building to be used as a one-unit dwelling. Variances are included for the existing building line, parking space sizes, maneuvering, vision clearance, and a parking reduction from eight required spaces to six provided spaces. Staff supports the proposal and variances given the mixed-use nature of this historic corridor, walkable nature of the neighborhood, and because the structures will be restored to their original residential purpose. The request will not add an incompatible use to the neighborhood.
