Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV16-036
APPLICANT: Daniel M. Lavon; 4009 James River Road; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: A three-unit dwelling.
BREWERY DISTRICT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is currently developed with an office suite and parking lot zoned in the C-4, Commercial District. The requested Council variance will permit the renovation of the offices into a three-unit dwelling on one parcel. The variance is necessary because the C-4, Commercial District does not permit ground floor residential uses. Variances to reduce the parking setback along East Frankfort Street and to maintain the building lines along East Frankfort Street and South Pearl Alley are included in the request. The site is located within the boundaries of the Brewery District Plan (1992), specifically within the Southern Tier subarea. The Southern Tier subarea is characterized as being primarily residential with one to two-and-a-half story structures, which matches the applicant’s proposal. Staff finds the proposal to be compatible with the surrounding residential uses along East Frankfort Street and South Pearl Alley. Additional support of this proposal stems from the residential use being less intense than the existing office uses, and the applicant providing the minimum required parking spaces.
