Explanation
Council Variance Application CV18-036
APPLICANT: Kyle Davis; 185 Miller Avenue; Columbus, OH 43205.
PROPOSED USE: Conform existing four-unit dwelling.
LIVINGSTON AVENUE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
HISTORIC RESOURCE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested variance will conform an existing four-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District. The R-3, Residential District was established as part of a 1998 City sponsored down-zoning of the neighborhood which rendered many multi-unit properties non-conforming. A Council variance is necessary because a four-unit dwelling is not a permitted use in the R-3, Residential District which limits residential development to single-unit dwellings. Variances for reduced number of parking spaces, maximum side yard, and minimum side yard are included in this request. The site is located within the planning area of the Near Southside Plan (2011), which recommends medium density mixed residential uses at this location. The four-unit 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 non-conforming nature of the site precludes financing options. Approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
