Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-111
APPLICANT: Kareem Jackson; 3203 El Paso Drive; Columbus, OH 43204
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the site to be developed with a two-unit dwelling. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district prohibits two-unit dwellings. A variance for lot width, lot area, and required parking is also included in this request. The site is located within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not include a specific land use recommendation for this location, but does recommend that new housing construction be consistent with surrounding densities and building types in the neighborhood. Staff supports the requested use and variances as they are consistent with this recommendation, and notes that this request will not add an incompatible use as there are a mix of residential unit types in the area.
