Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV14-052
APPLICANT: Elyot L. and Tina D. Ransom; c/o Thomas Shelby, Agent; 1592 Granville Street; Columbus, OH 43202.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on the same lot.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This variance will allow an existing single-unit dwelling to be conforming in the M, Manufacturing District, and will allow a mobile home as a second dwelling unit on the same lot. A Council variance is necessary in that single-unit dwellings are prohibited in the M, Manufacturing District. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends office/light industrial mixed uses for this location. Staff does not object to the request as the existing use of the property is residential, and the addition of the second single-unit dwelling will not preclude the potential for future office/light industrial/mixed use development in this area. The request has minimal impact on the surrounding neighborhood which is developed predominantly with residential uses, and the resulting density of this lot is much lower than that of the nearby residential lots. No recommendation is being made on the hardship aspects of this request.
