Explanation
APPLICANT: Lyle A. Jones Jr.; c/o David M. Neubauer, Atty.; 334 West Third Avenue; Columbus, Ohio 43201.
PROPOSED USE: Conform an existing single-family dwelling.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant seeks a variance to conform an existing single-family dwelling in the C-4 district and to allow a lot split at a later date. The C-4, Commercial District does not permit single-family dwellings. The site lies within the boundaries of The Near Southside Plan (1997), although said Plan contains no specific recommendation regarding this site. The applicant also requests variances to standards including a decreased minimum driveway width from twenty (20) feet to fourteen (14) feet, to have zero (0) parking spaces when a minimum of two (2) parking spaces are required and to have building setbacks decreased from the minimum of ten (10) feet to zero (0) feet. The area contains a mixture of commercial and residential uses and therefore continuance of the single-family use would be consistent with the land use pattern of the area. Maintaining this dwelling as an occupied single-family dwelling would not add to the abundance of vacant houses in the area as identified in The Near Southside Plan (1997). No recommendation is being made regarding the hardship aspect of this request.
