Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV21-103

APPLICANT: Aaron Boeke; 930 Franklin Avenue; Columbus, OH 43205.

PROPOSED USE: Single-unit and two-unit dwelling development.

NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District. The applicant proposes a lot split resulting in Tracts 1-4, with new single-unit dwellings on each of the three new lots. An additional single-unit dwelling will be added to the existing single-unit dwelling on Tract 3 to create a two-unit dwelling. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district does not permit two-unit dwellings. The site is located within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which supports the development of new infill housing that contributes to a walkable and diverse neighborhood, compatible with existing architecture in the area and with the Plan’s housing design guidelines. The proposed uses are compatible with surrounding residential uses and architecture, while the reduced development standards are consistent with recent urban infill developments that have been approved in this neighborhood.
