Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-038
APPLICANT: Cephas Pearson c/o Brenda Parker, Agent; 405 North Front Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling development.
NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of an undeveloped parcel in the R-3, Residential District. The applicant proposes a future lot split and requests a Council variance to allow a two-unit dwelling on each lot. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district does not allow two-unit dwellings. Variances to lot width, lot size, and building lines are included in this request. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the North Central Plan (2002), which recommends “Single-Family Residential” uses at this location.
