Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-023
APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock; 1182 Wyandotte Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single undeveloped parcel zoned in the R-3, Residential District. The existing zoning is the result of a city-initiated downzoning of the neighborhood in 1993 (Z93-023A). A Council variance is necessary because the current zoning district only permits single-unit dwellings, while the applicant proposes a two-unit dwelling. A variance to reduce the building setback line along Linwood Avenue is included in this request. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not recommend a land use for this location. The Plan does state that, in general, housing types and density should be consistent with the housing types and densities found in the surrounding area. City staff supports the proposed variance as the proposal is consistent with the housing types, density, and development pattern found along Bryden Road. Additionally, the site is within the Bryden Road Historic District and is subject to review by the Historic Resources Commission.
