Explanation
Council Variance Application CV17-028
APPLICANT: Henry K Park; 68 East Oakland Avenue; Columbus, OH 43201.
PROPOSED USE: Four-unit dwelling.
LIVINGSTON AVENUE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested variance will conform an existing four-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District. A Council variance is necessary because four-unit dwellings are not permitted uses in the R-2F, Residential District which is limited to one or two-unit dwellings. The site is located within the planning area of the Near Southside Plan (2011), which recommends medium density mixed residential uses at this location. The four-unit dwelling has been long established on this lot and is consistent with the residential uses that are prevalent in the surrounding neighborhood. A hardship exists because the non-conforming nature of the site precludes financing options. Approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
