Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV05-006
APPLICANT: New Victorians, Inc.; c/o Connie J. Klema, Atty.; P.O. Box 991; Pataskala, Ohio 43062.
PROPOSED USE: Two five-unit apartment buildings.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The subject site is comprised of two separate tax parcels, each of which is developed with a non-conforming five-unit apartment building. The existing apartment units consist of 420 square feet each. The requested variance would conform the existing buildings, allowing a second-story addition to incorporate a 525 square-foot expansion to each unit in the R-4, Residential District. A Council variance is required because the R-4, Residential District permits a maximum of four dwelling units in one building. The applicant requests variances for existing conditions, including lot coverage, front setbacks, rear yard, and minimum number of required parking spaces. A hardship exists in that a variance is necessary to renovate the existing buildings to allow a more adequate living area for the residents while improving the architecture and design of the buildings that better reflect the character of neighboring homes.
