Council Variance Application: CV24-118
APPLICANT: Joel R. Simmons; c/o Tim Lai, Agent; 401 West Town Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: One two-unit dwelling and one single-unit dwelling on the same lot.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel within the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow a single-unit dwelling and a two-unit dwelling on one lot. A Council variance is required because the R-2F district allows a maximum of two dwelling units per lot. Variances to required parking, lot area, fronting, maximum and minimum side yards, and rear yard are also included in this request. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not include a specific land use recommendation at this location, but recommends infill developments be compatible with the surrounding area based on design guidelines which include, but are not limited to, height, massing/scale, porches, setbacks, and lot coverage. Additionally, the proposed use is compatible with higher density residential development west of the subject site.
