Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-052
APPLICANT: Jared Bock; 931 Strimple Avenue; Columbus, OH 43220.
PROPOSED USE: Single- and two-unit dwelling on one lot.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-4, Residential District. Board of Zoning Adjustment Order BZA22-155 was approved to allow for an addition to the existing single-unit dwelling located on the rear of the property. The Applicant now proposes to construct a two-unit dwelling on the front of the lot. A Council variance is required because the R-4 district does not allow a single-unit dwelling and a two-unit dwelling on one lot. Variances to required parking, parking setback line, lot width, lot area, fronting, minimum side yard, and rear yard are also included in this request. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Near Southside Plan (2011), which recommends “Medium Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location. Staff supports the request as the proposed use and submitted building elevations are consistent with the Plan’s and Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018), respectively, and the proposal will not add an incompatible use to the area.
