Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV06-056

APPLICANT: Jenney M. Rice; 1362 North Sixth Street; Columbus, OH 43201.

PROPOSED USE: To conform an existing single-family dwelling in the C-2, Commercial District.

UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This variance will allow an existing single-family dwelling to be conforming in the C-2, Commercial District.

The owner is trying to sell the home, but the lending institution will only finance a conforming use in the district, and the future owner cannot secure financing to purchase the dwelling. A Council variance is necessary in that dwelling units are permitted only above certain commercial uses in the C-2, Commercial District. Several Council variances were approved in 2002 for new construction of single-family dwellings in this same block of North Sixth Street.
