Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV10-003
APPLICANT: Jimmy Francis; 529 South Lazelle Street, Unit C; Columbus, OH 43206.
PROPOSED USE: Three-unit dwelling.
GERMAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant requests a Council variance to conform an existing three-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District. Variances for area and yard standards and a three-space parking reduction are included in the request. The site was part of an area-wide City-sponsored rezoning of German Village that rendered the use non-conforming. A hardship exists because the non-conforming nature of the site inhibits the owners from selling their units, refinancing, or making improvements to the structure. The three-unit dwelling has been long established on this lot, and is consistent with existing development in the surrounding residential neighborhood. Approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
