Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-009
APPLICANT: Brittany Glenn; 2287 East 5th Avenue; Columbus, OH 43219
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit dwelling.
NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a single-unit dwelling in the C-4, Commercial District that includes a Type “A” day care home facility component. The requested Council variance will conform the existing single-unit dwelling, and is necessary for the applicant to obtain financing because the C-4 district only allows dwelling units above specified commercial uses, but does not allow a dwelling unit as a principal use. The request also includes variances for improved surface and required parking. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the North Central Plan (2002), which recommends “Neighborhood Commercial Services” land uses at this location. Staff notes that the proposal will not introduce a new or incompatible use to the area, and conforms existing conditions. Staff also notes that this site is within the initial focus area of the Zone-In initiative, and the contemplated mixed-use zoning designation will allow both single-unit dwellings and commercial uses.
