Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-021
APPLICANT: Nicholas Kinney; 761 Franklin Avenue; Columbus, OH 43205.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one parcel.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned in the R-3, Residential District, and consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling and an accessory dwelling unit converted from a three-car garage by a previous owner without permits. The requested Council Variance will legitimize the existing development. A Council variance is necessary because the R-3 district only permits one single-unit dwelling per lot. Variances for lot width, fronting, minimum side yard, rear yard, and reduced number of parking spaces are included in this request. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not recommend a specific land use at this location, but recommends that new housing be consistent with the housing types, density, and development pattern of the neighborhood. Staff supports the existing development has been long established and is consistent with surrounding residential development pattern.
