Explanation
COUNCIL VARIANCE: CV02-052
APPLICANT: Fred Stewart-Magee; 101 Beechwood Drive S.W.; Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068.
PROPOSED USE: Seven-unit apartment house.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a closed 54-occupant sorority/fraternity house. The applicant wishes to redevelop the existing building with reduced development standards as a seven-unit apartment house. The applicant is requesting variances to reduce aisle width for parallel parking, allow a dumpster forward of the building line, reduce the parking setback line on Seventeenth Avenue, allow parking and maneuvering in required side yard between a building and public street, reduce the number of required off-street parking spaces for residential uses, and increase the maximum total calculated floor area permitted on a lot. The variances requested to reduce development standards reflect existing site conditions. A hardship exists in that the applicant's proposal to convert a 54-occupant sorority/fraternity house to a seven-unit apartment house in the AR-4, Apartment Residential District requires variances to reduce development standards.
