Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-045
APPLICANT: Austin Caulk; 1021 South High Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Conform an existing single-unit dwelling.
BREWERY DISTRICT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: To be determined at the July 27, 2017 Business meeting. No recommendation available.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a nonconforming single-unit dwelling zoned in the C-4, Commercial District. The requested Council variance will conform the existing single-unit dwelling. Variances to driveway width and maneuvering are included in the request to permit a garage in the location of an existing garage foundation/parking pad. The site is within the planning area of the Brewery District Plan (1992), which recognizes single-unit residential use as a predominant existing use in the Southern Tier sub-district. This request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area. The requested variance will conform an existing single-unit dwelling in the C-4, Commercial District, which 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.
