Explanation
Council Variance Application CV18-034
APPLICANT: Suzanne M. Hoholik; 191 East Blake Avenue; Columbus, OH 43202.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit condominium.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested variance will conform an existing single unit within a four-unit condominium building zoned 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 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 nonconforming nature of the site precludes financing options, and approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area. Staff notes that several properties along this block of Indianola Avenue have received Council variances to conform existing dwelling units in the C-4 district.
