Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-041

APPLICANT: Joe Hakim; 6195 Deeside Drive; Dublin, OH 43017.

PROPOSED USE: Three-unit dwelling.

COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a two-unit dwelling in the C-4, Commercial District. The requested Council variance will allow the building to be converted into a three-unit dwelling. A Council variance is required because the C-4 district only allows dwelling units above specified commercial uses, but does not allow dwelling units on the ground floor of a building. A variance to reduce the required parking from six to four spaces is also included with this request. The site is within the boundaries of the Near Southside Plan (2011), which recommends “Mixed-Use (Neighborhood)” land uses at this location, consistent with the proposed three-unit dwelling. Additionally, the proposal includes building elevations that are consistent with the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018).
