Explanation
Council Variance Application CV17-046
APPLICANT: Barbara J. Lubberger; 2751 Indianola Avenue; Columbus, OH 43202.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit dwelling.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested variance will conform an existing single-unit dwelling in the C-4, Commercial District. A Council variance is necessary because residential uses are only permitted above specified commercial uses in the C-4, Commercial District. The site is located within the planning area of the Clintonville Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends multi-unit residential uses at 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. A hardship exists because the non-conforming nature of the site precludes the applicant’s ability to add an addition to the existing dwelling. Approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
