Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV08-012

APPLICANT: Joel Gaertner; 5055 Avery Road; Dublin, OH 43016.

PROPOSED USE: Ground floor residential use in the C-4, Commercial District.

BREWERY DISTRICT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The property is zoned in the C-4, Commercial District. The applicant is applying for a Council Variance to allow a dwelling on the ground floor in the C-4, Commercial District. Dwellings are only permitted on the second floor in the C-4, Commercial District. Staff has supported allowing a mixture of office and ground floor residential use on this portion of South High Street and this proposal would not be out of character for the area. The property currently houses the applicant's home and office. The City of Columbus Zoning Code contains no district allowing a mixture of residential and retail uses on the ground floor. A Council variance is required to allow the applicant to pursue such a project.
