Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-069
APPLICANT: Chris Sherman; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit dwelling.
FRANKLINTON AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned in the M, Manufacturing District. The requested Council variance will permit the conversion of an industrial building into a single-unit dwelling. The site is within the planning area of the West Franklin Plan (2014), which recommends “industrial” uses for this location. The proposal is supported by staff as current development patterns along the Glenwood corridor consist of small industrial buildings with interspersed residential structures and the adaptive reuse of the building will help retain character in the area.
