Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-025
APPLICANT: Harold & Carol Stewart; 6199 Lockbourne Road; Lockbourne, OH 43137.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel developed with two single-unit dwellings in the R-2, Residential District. A Council variance is necessary because the R-2 district only permits one single-unit dwelling per lot, while the applicant would like to maintain two single-unit dwellings on this lot. The site is within the planning area of the Scioto Southland Plan (2007), which recommends single-unit residential land uses at this location. The two single-unit dwellings are consistent with the development pattern in the surrounding neighborhood and will not add a new or incompatible land use to the area. A hardship exists because the non-conforming nature of the site precludes financing options.
