Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-100
APPLICANT: Joshua Tomey; 1286 East Fulton Street; Columbus, OH 43205
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
NEAR AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the R-3, Residential District. A future lot split has been proposed that will result in three new lots: Lot 01, Lot 02, and Lot 03. The requested Council Variance will allow a two-unit dwelling on both Lot 01 and Lot 02, and a mixed-use building containing two-dwelling units and approximately 1,000 square feet of office and retail space on Lot 03. Additionally, two parking spaces for Lot 02 will be provided on Lot 01. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district only allows single-unit dwellings as a primary residential land use, and does not allow office, retail, or non-accessory parking uses. Variances to landscaping and screening, parking setback, required parking, vision clearance, lot width, lot area, building lines, side yards, rear yard, and side yard obstruction are also included in this request. The Near East Area Plan (2005) does not have a specified recommended land use for the site, however the proposal is consistent with the Plan’s goal of developing new housing that is compatible with the historical urban development pattern, and provides appropriate parking lot screening.
