Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV25-102

APPLICANT: Joshua Tomey; 1286 East Fulton Street; Columbus, OH 43205.

PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwellings.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of six undeveloped parcels in the R, Rural District. A Council variance is required because the R district only allows single-unit dwellings, while the applicant proposes to construct a two-unit dwelling on each lot. Variances to lot size and minimum side yards are included in this request. Staff supports the request as the submitted plans are consistent with the Northland I Area Plan’s (2014) land use recommendation of “Low-Medium Density Residential,” and the proposed use will not add an incompatible use to the area.
