Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV21-061
APPLICANT: Supra Investments LLC; c/o Sean Knoppe; P.O. Box 732; Worthington, OH 43085.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit dwelling.
FRANKLINTON AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a nonconforming 1.5 story single-unit dwelling in the M, Manufacturing District. The requested Council Variance will conform the existing use so that the applicant can expand the living area of the dwelling with a full second story. A hardship exists because the non-conforming nature of the site precludes building expansions. The site is located within the boundaries of the West Franklinton Plan (2014), which recommends industrial uses for this location, and includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The dwelling has been long established on this lot, and approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area. Planning Division staff has also reviewed conceptual elevations of the proposed building improvements, and finds the design to be consistent with the recommendations of the West Franklinton Plan and C2P2 Design Guidelines.
