Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV06-053

APPLICANT: Randall K. and Stacie B. Shively; c/o Donald T. Plank, Atty.; Plank and Brahm; 145 East Rich Street, 3rd Floor; Columbus, Ohio 43215.

PROPOSED USE: To conform an existing single-family dwelling in the P-2, Public Parking District.

VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

A Council variance is necessary in that dwelling units are prohibited in the P-2, Parking District. A hardship exists in that the owner is trying to sell the home, but the lending institution will only finance a conforming use in the district, and the future owner cannot secure financing to purchase the dwelling.
