Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-019
APPLICANT: Stephen Bryant; c/o Daniel Keiser, AIA, Agent; Keiser Design Group; 800 Cross Pointe Road, Suite M; Gahanna, OH 43230.
PROPOSED USE: Conform existing single-unit dwelling.
GREATER HILLTOP AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the P-1, Private Parking District. The requested Council variance will conform the existing dwelling which was rendered nonconforming when the P-1 district was established in 1956. A Council variance is necessary because residential uses are not permitted in the P-1, Private Parking District. The site is located within the planning area of the Greater Hilltop Land Use Plan (2019), which recommends “Medium-High Density Residential” (16-24 du/ac) uses for this location. The request is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation and the development pattern in the area. A hardship exists because the non-conforming nature of the site precludes financing options and prevents the owner from further improving the property. Approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
