Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV10-017
APPLICANT: Hilltop Housing LP; 3021 East Dublin-Granville Road; Columbus, OH 43231.
PROPOSED USE: To construct one single-unit dwelling in the C-4, Commercial District.
GREATER HILLTOP AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant is requesting a Council variance to construct a single-unit dwelling in the C-4, Commercial District. A Council variance is necessary because dwelling units are permitted only above commercial uses in the C-4, Commercial District. This vacant site is one of four parcels, zoned C-4 at the intersection of Steele and North Wayne Avenues. The other three C-4, parcels are developed with single-unit dwellings and these parcels are surrounded by dwellings and residential zoning. Staff finds the current C-4, Commercial District zoning to be obsolete and would like to see this site and the other three C-4, parcels rezoned to the R-4, Residential District to reflect the uses. The proposed Council Variance is consistent with the draft Hilltop Plan Amendment which recommends Medium Density Mixed Residential, which includes single-unit dwellings for this parcel.
