Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-079
APPLICANT: James K. Venable; 319 Linwood Avenue; Columbus, OH 43205.
PROPOSED USE: Three-unit dwelling.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a non-conforming two-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District. The requested variance will permit conversion of the existing building into a three-unit dwelling. A Council variance is necessary because the R-3 district only permits one single-unit dwelling per lot. Variances to minimum numbers of parking spaces required, lot width, and lot area are included in this request. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not recommend a land use for this location. However, staff recognizes that the Plan encourages the revitalization of residential areas and that the proposed three-unit dwelling is consistent with the development pattern of the area. Additionally, as the variances legitimize the existing nonconforming conditions of the site and preserves the contributing building, the proposed variances are supportable.
