Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV23-012
APPLICANT: Julie Bullock; 4886 Olentangy Boulevard; Columbus, OH 43214.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the applicant to construct a two-unit dwelling. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district only allows one single-unit dwelling per lot. The request also includes a variance to lot width requirements. The site is located with the planning boundaries of the Clintonville Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends “Single Family” land uses at this location. Although the proposal would result in a higher density than what is recommended by the Plan, staff remain in support because the proposal is consistent with the Plan’s design guidelines and the existing development pattern of this portion of West North Broadway.
