Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-048
APPLICANT: Steven Lee and Cynthia Lynn Mahaney; 18 Glenmont Avenue; Columbus, OH 43214.
PROPOSED USE: Conform an existing single-unit dwelling.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested variance will conform an existing single-unit dwelling in the P-1, Private Parking District. A Council variance is necessary because residential uses are not permitted in the P-1, Private Parking District. The site is located within the boundaries of the Clintonville Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends “Single Family” land uses for this location. The dwelling has been long established on this lot and is consistent with the residential uses that are prevalent in the surrounding neighborhood. However, the lot was rezoned by a previous owner in 1965 with the intent of demolishing the house and using the site for a commercial parking lot. That redevelopment never occurred so the dwelling has remained a non-conforming use ever since. 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.
