Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV26-054
APPLICANT: Fisk Properties, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; Dave Perry Company; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Lot split for existing residential development.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with two four-unit dwellings in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow a future lot split resulting in a four-unit dwelling on each lot. A Council variance is required because single-unit dwellings are the only allowable residential use in the R-3 district, and the requested lot split removes the non-conforming condition of the existing development. A variance to reduce the required parking from six to four spaces for each four-unit dwelling is included in the request. Staff notes that the four-unit dwellings are existing and that the request conforms the residential development after a future planned lot split, allowing opportunities for the lots to be sold individually or for the buildings to be expanded.
