Council Variance Application: Z15-055
APPLICANT: Kenneth Mollica; c/o Dow Voelker, Atty.; 1620 West First Avenue; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Four-unit dwelling.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0-1) on February 11, 2016.
FIFTH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is currently developed with a four-unit dwelling zoned R, Rural District as a result of annexation from Clinton Township in 1976. The requested rezoning to the R-4, Residential District will bring the existing dwelling into compliance. Staff finds that the proposal will not add incompatible uses to the area as the four-unit dwelling is compatible with residential uses in this area, as well as with the land use recommendation of the Fifth by Northwest Area Plan (2009), for “Multi-Family” uses. Concurrent Council variance Ordinance No. 0856-2016 (CV15-075) is also under consideration to vary the required parking and setback standards for existing site conditions.
