Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV06-022
APPLICANT: Charles P. Cook; 1757 Rainbow Park; Columbus, OH 43206.
PROPOSED USE: Single-family dwelling.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant requests this Council variance to develop a single-family dwelling in the I, Institutional District and maintain an existing barn and well structure. Single-family dwellings and barns are not permitted in the I, Institutional District. The structure will be located on a 4.82 acre lot, just less than the five acre minimum lot size required in the R, Rural District, which has the largest minimum lot size requirement for single-family zoning districts in the City. Furthermore, no other variances to dimensional standards are being requested, further ensuring this will not negatively impact the surrounding area. The proposed single-family dwelling is more compatible and consistent with the established uses along this portion of Sunbury Road than most of the uses permitted in the I, Institutional District. No recommendation is being made regarding the hardship aspect of this request.
