Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV04-024
APPLICANT: David L. Waller; 1468 London-Groveport Road; Lockbourne, Ohio 43137.
PROPOSED USE: To conform an existing single-family dwelling in the M, Manufacturing District.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with two single-family dwellings. The applicant is requesting a Council Variance to conform one of the existing single-family dwellings and to expand it with a 1,558 square-foot addition in the M, Manufacturing District. A Council variance is necessary in that single-family dwellings are prohibited in the M, Manufacturing District, and non-conforming structures cannot be expanded by greater than 50% of the square footage of the existing structure without a Council variance. The site is surrounded by agricultural uses and rural residential development either in the M, Manufacturing District or in Hamilton Township. The site lies within the planning area of the South Central Accord (2000), which recommends industrial uses for this location. A deviation from the Plan is accepted because the existing dwelling is non-conforming, and expands only the size of the structure and not the land acreage, and will have minimal impact on the surrounding area. A hardship exists in that the applicant cannot expand and improve the existing dwelling without a Council variance.
