Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV26-037
APPLICANT: Felicia Hall; 5099 Camelot Drive; Fairfield, OH 45014.
PROPOSED USE: Shared living facility.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single-unit dwelling in the R-1, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the site to be used as a shared living facility with a maximum of six residents. A Council variance is required because a shared living facility with six occupants is not allowed in the R-1 zoning district. A variance to reduce required parking from seven to four spaces is included in the request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Far East Land Use Plan (2018) which recommends “Very Low Density Residential (<4 du/ac)” land uses for this location. Staff supports the proposed use as it does not change the physical characteristics of the dwelling, maintains the residential nature of the property, and does not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
