Explanation
Council Variance Application CV18-112
APPLICANT: Aigool Zhumsheva; 3726 North High Street; Columbus, OH 43214.
PROPOSED USE: First floor residential use or a single-unit dwelling.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a dwelling that was converted to an office that is zoned in the C-2, Commercial District. The requested Council variance will permit conversion of all or part of the office back into a single-unit dwelling. The site is within the planning area of the Clintonville Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends “Mixed Use” (office, institutional, or residential uses) for this location. Approval of this request will not add new or incompatible uses to the area. The development pattern along this part of North High Street is mixed with offices, apartments, and single-unit dwellings, thus the requested use will complement the surrounding uses. The underlying C-2 zoning district will remain intact thereby permitting future exclusively office use should that be desired.
