Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-036
APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock; 4886 Olentangy Boulevard; Columbus, OH 43214.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a mixed-use building containing an office and a single-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District as approved by Ordinance #1440-2017 (Council Variance #CV17-017). The requested Council variance will allow the existing office space to be converted into a second dwelling unit, resulting in a two-unit dwelling. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district only allows one single-unit dwelling per lot as the primary residential land use. Although the proposed use is inconsistent with the Clintonville Neighborhood Plan’s (2009) recommendation of “Single-Family,” the building is existing and compatible with nearby residential development. The site is also located along a high intensity corridor, and consistent with the Plan’s guidance recommending a mix of housing densities in every neighborhood. Additionally, staff notes the proposed building elevations are consistent with the Plan’s design guidelines.
