Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-025
APPLICANT: Heartfields Properties, LLC; c/o Beatrice Nokuri, Atty.; 1457 Bexton Loop; Columbus, OH 43209.
NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two undeveloped parcels within the R-2, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the development of a two-unit dwelling on each lot. A Council variance is required because the R-2 district does not permit two-unit dwellings. The request includes variances to lot width, lot size, and required parking for both parcels. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the North Central Plan (2002), which recommends “Single-Family Residential” land uses at this location. Staff supports the request as the proposed two-unit dwellings are consistent with the existing housing types and with the Plan’s specific recommendation for infill housing on vacant lots within residential areas.
