Explanation
Council Variance: CV04-038.
APPLICANT: Richard Thomas, Rona Enterprises, Inc., 12000 East Broad Street; Columbus, OH 43062.
PROPOSED USE: Permit a manufactured home in the R-2, Residential District .
NORTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This variance will allow the property owners to install a manufactured home to replace a single-family residential dwelling that was destroyed by a fire. The proposed use is consistent with the North East Area Plan (1990) recommendation for single-family residential development and the manufactured home will be similar in size and appearance to the single-family dwelling previously located on this lot. The proposed manufactured home will meet R-2, Residential District development standards. An existing garage will be retained. A hardship exists in that the R-2, Residential District permits one single-family dwelling, and manufactured homes are excluded from the definition of a single-family dwelling.
