Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV12-016
APPLICANT: Mary Keck; c/o Kathy Wiseman; P.O. Box 373; Johnstown, OH 43031.
PROPOSED USE: To conform an existing single-unit dwelling in the M, Manufacturing District.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This variance will allow an existing single-unit dwelling to be conforming in the M, Manufacturing District. A Council variance is necessary in that single-unit dwellings are prohibited in the M, Manufacturing District. A hardship exists in that a lending institution will only finance a conforming use in the district, and a potential buyer cannot purchase the property without financing. Most of the properties that were zoned as part of this M District in 1963 are still being used as single-unit dwellings. Council variance ordinances 1149-2005 and 1150-2005 were approved for two other single-unit dwellings in this block of Williams Road in 2005.
