Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV10-010
APPLICANT: NRP Boulevard Homes LLC; c/o M. Neff Design Group 14855 #100-233; Maple Heights, OH 44137.
PROPOSED USE: To construct two single-unit dwellings with reduced development standards.
FRANKLINTON AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant is requesting a Council variance to create two lots for two (2) single-unit dwellings in the C-4, Commercial District. A Council variance is necessary because dwellings are not permitted on the ground floor in the C-4 Commercial District. The site is one of twelve C-4 parcels surrounded by the AR-1, Apartment Residential and M, Manufacturing Districts. This C-4, District has been in place since 1928. The twelve parcels within the C-4, Commercial District are used for residential uses and there is one nonconforming warehouse. The surrounding AR-1, Apartment Residential District is characterized by residential uses, thus the request is consistent with the existing development pattern. The site is within the planning area of the Franklinton Plan (2003) which recommends commercial use for the site; however the site is also within an upcoming area rezoning application that is recommended by the Franklinton Plan (2003). The proposed rezoning would change the zoning to R-2F, which would permit single-unit dwellings and would reflect the existing land uses in the area. The variances to standards are deemed minor and necessary for the proposed dwellings to fit in within the existing development pattern.
