Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-119
APPLICANT: Stefany Risner; 700 Bryden Road; Columbus, OH 43125.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
GREATER HILLTOP AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single undeveloped parcel zoned in the SR, Suburban Residential District. The requested variance will permit a two-unit dwelling. A Council variance is required because the SR district only permits single-unit dwellings. The site is within the planning area of the Hilltop Land Use Plan (2019), which recommends “Low-Medium Density Residential” land uses at this location, and includes complete adoption of Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). City staff supports the requested variance as the proposal is consistent with the housing types and the land use recommendation of the Hilltop Land Use Plan. Additionally, the site plan protects the existing mature tree on the site by locating the driveway on the east side of the lot, while the submitted building elevations are consistent with C2P2 Design Guidelines.
