Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-171
APPLICANT: Daley Stewart LLC; c/o Mark Atkins, SM; and Michael Ar. Neiman, Atty.; 580 South High Street, Suite 120; Columbus, OH 43215
PROPOSED USE: Residential development.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a three-unit dwelling and a two-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will conform the existing development pending a lot split, allowing for each dwelling to be located on its own lot. A Council variance is required because the R-2F district allows one single- or one two-unit dwelling on a lot, but does not allow a three-unit dwelling. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “Medium-High Density Residential” land uses at this location, and includes early adoption of Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Variances to reduce vision clearance, lot width, lot area, building setbacks, side yards, rear yard, and required parking are included in this request. Staff supports the requested variances as they will conform the existing dwellings. The proposed use is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation and the residential character of the neighborhood, and does not introduce and incompatible use to the area.
