Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV23-096
APPLICANT: Cephas Pearson; c/o Brenda Parker, Agent; 405 North Front Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwellings.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of three parcels in the R-3, Residential District. The center parcel is developed with a single-unit dwelling, and the adjacent parcels on each side are undeveloped. The requested Council variance will conform existing conditions for the single-unit dwelling, and will allow construction of a two-unit dwelling on each of the undeveloped lots. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district does not allow two-unit dwellings. Variances for reduced lot widths, lot sizes, and side yards are included in the request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the North Central Plan (2002), which recommends “Single-Family Residential” uses at this location. Staff supports the request as the proposed variance will conform the existing reduced side yard for the single-unit dwelling, and will allow two new two-unit dwellings on undeveloped lots, consistent with the existing housing types and the Plan’s recommendation for infill housing on vacant lots within residential areas.
