Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV05-053
APPLICANT: Mike Ferris Properties; c/o Connie J. Klema, Atty.; P.O. Box 991; Pataskala, Ohio 43062.
PROPOSED USE: A four-family dwelling and a single-family dwelling.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned R-2F, Residential District and is comprised of two separate tax parcels, one of which is developed with a three-family dwelling. The applicant requests a Council variance to permit an addition to the three-family dwelling with a fourth dwelling unit, and to construct a single-family dwelling that will front on an alley with and to construct a new six-car garage attached to it. The R-2F, Residential District allows a maximum of two dwelling units in one building only. Additional variances to development standards are requested to reduce maximum lot coverage, required side and rear yards, and to allow stacked parking spaces behind four residential garage spaces. All required off-street parking spaces will be provided. The site was rezoned from the R-4, Residential District to the R-2F district by an area-wide rezoning that was approved in 2000 for the Schumacher Place community. Since the current configuration of the property would allow the use of a two-family dwelling on the vacant parcel, staff has determined that the proposed addition of two one dwelling units is in general conformance with the area-wide rezoning. The proposal is also consistent with the established development pattern of the area in that there are several multi-family residential uses within close proximity to the site.
