Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV06-034
APPLICANT: The Clintonville Corporation, Inc. c/o Catherine A. Cunningham, Atty.; Plank & Brahm; 145 East Rich
Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: To conform an existing four-family dwelling.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The subject site is developed with a four-family dwelling and a four-car detached garage zoned in the C-4, Commercial District. The four-unit dwelling was constructed in 1925, and at that time, dwellings were permitted uses in commercial zoning districts. Therefore, the dwelling is permitted as a non-conforming use. The applicant requests a use variance to preserve the right to restore the dwelling or detached garage in the event of damage or destruction, regardless of the extent of the damage. A four-space parking variance is also included in the request. Because the variance will not alter the actual use of the site, or the number of dwelling units in the building, the use variance will not adversely affect the surrounding property or surrounding neighborhood. The owner has committed to conditions for maintaining the existing building's architectural features to ensure compatibility with surrounding development if the structure is ever rebuilt.
