Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-059
APPLICANT: Jonathan Romanovich; 2833 Oak Forest Drive; Grove City, OH 43123.
PROPOSED USE: Residential development.
SOUTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels each developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R, Rural District. A lot split has been proposed that will result in three new lots (Lot 1, Lot 2, and Lot 3). The requested Council Variance will allow a two-unit dwelling on Lot 1 and Lot 2, and will conform the development standards for the retained single-unit dwelling on Lot 3. A Council variance is required because the R district only allows single-unit dwellings as a primary residential land use. Variances to lot area, maximum side yard, and rear yard are also included in this request. The request is consistent with the Southwest Area Plan’s (2009) land use recommendation of “Low Density Residential” and Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines as the project includes a high-level of site and architectural design and is compatible with the surrounding residential development.
