Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-057
APPLICANT: Dino Y. Smith and Stacia E. Williams; 6288 Alissa Lane; Columbus, OH 43213.
PROPOSED USE: A five-unit apartment building.
NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a vacant six-unit apartment building zoned in the C-4, Commercial District. The requested Council variance will permit conversion of the building into a five-unit apartment building with the addition of two parking spaces. The site is located within the boundaries of the North Central Plan (2002), which recommends single-unit residential uses for this location. Deviation from the Plan recommendation is supported due to the existing multi-unit residential use of the property, its underlying commercial zoning designation, and its location on two primary corridors. The request also includes variances for reduced parking from eight required spaces to four spaces, and for existing reduced parking and building setbacks. Staff finds the proposal to be compatible with the surrounding commercial and residential uses. Additional support of this proposal stems from the applicant reducing the number of dwelling units and providing more parking spaces.
