Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV26-025
APPLICANT: Joshua Tomey; 1286 East Fulton Street; Columbus, OH 43205.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the site to be developed with a two-unit dwelling. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district prohibits two-unit dwellings. Variances for required parking, vision clearance, lot width, lot area, lot coverage, building setback, side yard, and rear yard are also included in this request. The site is located within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not include a specific land use recommendation for this location, however, the Plan does recommend new housing construction be compatible with surrounding housing structures and densities in the area. Staff supports the proposed two-unit dwelling as the project is consistent with the residential uses within the neighborhood, and will not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
