Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-070

APPLICANT: Since 1797 LLC; c/o Sean Knoppe; PO Box 732; Worthington, OH 43085.

PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.

NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a religious facility in the R-3, Residential District. The requested variance will permit conversion of the existing building into a two-unit dwelling. A Council variance is necessary because the R-3 district only permits one single-unit dwelling per lot. Variances to minimum numbers of parking spaces required, vision clearance, lot width, lot area, and maximum and minimum side yards are included in this request and reflect existing conditions. The site is within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not recommend a specific land use at this location, although it does note that vacant religious facilities may be considered for housing when a community-related use is not viable. The Planning Division staff is in support of the building elevations, as the proposed design elements are compatible with surrounding structures, and consistent with the design recommendations of the Near East Area Plan. Ordinance #0073-2023 was approved on February 6, 2023, to permit an encroachment easement for the portions of the building that extend into the right-of-way of Graham Street.
