Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV16-005
APPLICANT: Smith Kids LLC; c/o Michael T. Shannon, Atty.; 500 South Front Street, Suite 1200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Three-unit dwelling.
GERMAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is currently developed with a three-unit dwelling zoned R-2F, Residential District, but city records only confirm the use of the property as a two-unit dwelling. The requested Council variance will bring the existing dwelling and parcel into compliance. The variance is necessary because the R-2F, Residential District permits a maximum of two dwelling units in one building. Variances are included to conform a gravel parking surface, two parking spaces, vision clearance, area district and lot width requirements, building lines, and maximum and minimum side yards. Staff finds that the proposal will not add incompatible uses to the area as the three-unit dwelling has existed for many years, and is compatible with residential densities in this area.
