Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV25-057

APPLICANT: Jonathan Romanovich; 2833 Oak Forest Drive; Grove City, OH 43123.

PROPOSED USE: Residential development.

SOUTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with two single-unit dwellings in the R, Rural District. A lot split has been proposed that will result in three new lots (Lot 001, Lot 002, and Lot 003). The requested Council Variance will allow a two-unit dwelling on Lot 001 and Lot 002, and will conform the development standards for the retained single-unit dwelling on Lot 003. A Council variance is required because the R district only allows single-unit dwellings as a primary residential land use. Variances to lot area, building lines, rear yard, and side yard obstruction are also included in this request. The request is consistent with the Southwest Area Plan’s (2009) land use recommendation of “Low Density Residential” and Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines as the project includes a high-level of site and architectural design and is compatible with the surrounding residential development.
