Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV16-038
APPLICANT: Jeffrey W. Cutler; 591 Carle Avenue; Lewis Center, OH 43035.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit dwelling.
BREWERY DISTRICT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested variances will bring the existing single-unit dwelling into zoning conformance. Variances are included to permit a residential use in the M, Manufacturing District, conform the existing building setback along Front Street, and vary required parking requirements on the site along Bank Street. Staff recognizes these variances to be negligible and consistent with the established development pattern of this neighborhood and enhance the area as a residential and mixed-use district as recommended in the Brewery District Plan (1992). Until such time that an area-wide rezoning is complete, Council variances are the most suitable means to allow non-conforming uses. A hardship exists because the non-conforming nature of the site precludes financing options. The dwelling has been long established on this lot, and is consistent with the residential uses that are prevalent in the surrounding neighborhood. Approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
