Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-119
APPLICANT: Asbury North United Methodist Church, c/o Bryan S. Hunt, Atty.; 3300 Riverside Drive, Suite 125; Columbus, OH 43221.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling and parking.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a religious facility and two-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District as allowed by Ordinance #0019-2007 (CV06-052), passed February 26, 2007. The requested variance will conform the existing uses after a proposed lot split is completed, resulting in a two-unit dwelling with non-accessory parking for the religious facility on the western lot, and the religious facility on the eastern lot. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district does not allow a two-unit dwelling or non-accessory parking uses. Variances to landscaping and screening, parking space size, required parking, parking setback, and maneuvering are included in this request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not specify a recommended land use at this location. Since the variances are necessitated as a result of a proposed lot split, and the two-unit dwelling and religious facility uses are not changing, Staff has no objection to the requested variances.
