Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-079
APPLICANT: Zane Walker; 2959 West Case Road; Dublin, OH 43017.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels in the R, Rural District, one developed with a single-unit dwelling, and the other undeveloped. The requested Council variance will allow a two-unit dwelling on the undeveloped (southern) parcel. A Council variance is required because the R district does not allow a two-unit dwelling. Variances to reduce vision clearance and lot area are also included in this request. The proposal is consistent with The Northwest Plan’s (2016) land use recommendation of “Low Density Residential,” and will not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
