Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-029
APPLICANT: Robert Ellis c/o Rich Russo, Agent; 906 East Broad Street; Columbus, OH 43205.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
PROPOSED USE: Three-unit dwelling.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of an undeveloped lot in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the construction of a new three-unit dwelling. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district does not allow three-unit dwellings. Variances to lot size, lot width, building setback, side yards, and required parking are included in this request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not have a specific land use recommendation for this location, but includes residential design guideline recommendations. Staff supports the requested use and design standards as they are consistent with the Plan’s recommendations for new housing construction to be consistent with surrounding densities and building types in the neighborhood. Additionally, this request is similar to other residential infill developments in the area.
