Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-086
APPLICANT: Teresa L. Kelly; 3680 Spangler Road; Columbus, OH 43207.
PROPOSED USE: To conform an existing single-unit dwelling in the M, Manufacturing District.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested variance will conform an existing single-unit dwelling in the M, Manufacturing District. A Council variance is necessary because single-unit dwellings are prohibited in the M, Manufacturing District. The dwelling has been long established on this lot and is consistent with the residential uses that are prevalent in the surrounding neighborhood. Upon annexation, most of the properties that were zoned in 1963 as part of this M, Manufacturing District are still being used as single-unit dwellings. This is the fifth such Council Variance in the past several years to conform dwellings in the M, Manufacturing District in this 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.
Emergency Justification: A change in zoning type in order to sell the estate of the previous owner.
