Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-071
APPLICANT: Frankbank, LLC; c/o David B. Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
BREWERY DISTRICT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel zoned in the M, Manufacturing District that is developed with a single-unit dwelling. The requested variance will permit the conversion of the structure into a two-unit dwelling. A Council variance is necessary because the M district does not permit a two-unit dwelling and allows only limited residential uses. Variances to aisle width, maneuvering, and to reduce the required number of parking spaces from 4 to 3 are included in the request. The site is located within the boundaries of the “Transitional Tier” of the Brewery District Plan (1993), which recommends Frankfort Street as the southern border for high density redevelopment, but the Plan also supports preservation of original structures and residential uses in the area. The proposal is consistent with the residential uses that are prevalent in the surrounding neighborhood.
