Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-016
APPLICANT: Samuel Goldberg; c/o Brent Rosenthal, Atty.; 366 East Broad Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Building maintenance business.
COLUMBUS SOUTHSIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel zoned in the R-2, Residential District, and is developed with a 3,089 square foot commercial building (Building A) and a single-unit dwelling (Building B). The applicant requests to conform the existing building maintenance business that is operating within Building A in order to create a new parcel for the existing single-unit dwelling (Parcel B). A Council variance is necessary because the R-2 district does not permit commercial uses. The request incorporates variances for a reduced minimum side yard along the western side of Building A, and a one space-space parking reduction. The site is within the boundaries of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “low-medium density residential” land uses at this location. While the proposal is not consistent with the land use plan, City Staff is able to support the request with the commitment of a site plan showing the improved on-site parking conditions with additional landscaping. Staff support is further conditioned on the commercial use being confined to Building A.
