Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-104
APPLICANT: Jared Bock; 931 Strimple Avenue; Columbus, OH 43229
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
LIVINGSTON AVENUE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the R-3, Residential District. The requested variance will allow the construction of a two-unit dwelling. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district does not allow a two-unit dwelling. A variance to conform the existing lot width is also included in this request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Near Southside Plan (2011), which recommends “Medium Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes complete adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Staff supports the requested use and site design as they are consistent with the Plan’s land use and design recommendations. The proposal also meets C2P2 Design Guidelines for new housing to be compatible to surrounding housing structures in the neighborhood.
