Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV23-098
APPLICANT: Estate of James G. Lisk; c/o Michael G. Farr, Executor; 1314 Bryden Road; Columbus, OH 43205.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a four-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the existing building to be expanded and converted into a two-unit dwelling with a new four-car detached garage. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district only allows single-unit dwellings. Variances to lot width, lot coverage, and minimum side yard are included in the request. The site is within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not give a specific land use recommendation for this location. Staff notes that the building was originally a two-unit dwelling, and finds that the proposal is consistent with the residential character of the neighborhood and with the existing development pattern in the surrounding area.
