Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-088
APPLICANT: Principle Homes, LLC c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit residential development.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of an undeveloped parcel in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit the construction of two single-unit dwellings on one lot (Site Plan A) with the option of placing each single-unit dwelling on its own lot (Site Plan B). Variances for both site plan options are accommodated in this request, including lot width, area district requirements, lot coverage, fronting, minimum side yards, and rear yard. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain specific land use recommendations for this location, but it does state that, in general, housing types and density should be consistent with the housing types and densities found in the surrounding area. This request is consistent with the housing pattern and density surrounding the site, and will feature permeable pavers in the shared area between garages and the alley offsetting what would otherwise be a large area of impervious surface.
