Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-109
APPLICANT: Brenda Parker; 405 North Front Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Office uses.
VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMNEDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a nonconforming shared living facility in the R-4, Residential District. The requested variance would permit the renovation of an existing two-story detached garage into 1,342 square feet of office and meeting space. A Council variance is necessary because the R-4 district does not permit office uses. The proposed conversion of the garage does not represent construction of a new building and will not increase the number of residents or the number of employees at this facility; therefore Staff supports the requested use variance. Additionally, the exterior improvements to the building will conform to the Victorian Village Commission design requirements ensuring that it will be architecturally compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
