Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV08-006

APPLICANT: Joseph A. Seifert; c/o William J. Rees, Atty.; 1332 Inglis Avenue; Columbus, OH 43212.

PROPOSED USE: Two-family dwelling.

NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This request will conform an existing two-family dwelling in the R-3, Residential District. Variances for the dwelling's existing side yards and for one required parking space are included in the request. A Council variance is necessary in that a two-family dwelling is not a permitted use in the R-3, Residential District. The site was part of an area-wide City-sponsored rezoning that rendered the use non-conforming. A hardship exists because the non-conforming nature of the site prevents the owners from making improvements to the structure, including the construction of a new detached garage. The two-family dwelling has been long established on this lot, and is consistent with existing development in the surrounding residential neighborhood. Approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
