Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-043
APPLICANT: A. Robert Hutchins; 341 South Third Street, Suite 10; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit dwelling.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with three buildings in the AR-O, Apartment Office District. The requested Council variance will permit one of the vacant office buildings to be converted to a single-unit dwelling. Ordinance #1192-02 (Council Variance #CV02-010) permitted a beauty salon and day spa on this parcel with a parking space reduction from 30 required spaces to 24 provided spaces. Because the site is now located within the East Main Street Urban Commercial Overlay (UCO), a parking reduction variance is no longer necessary. The site is located within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends “Higher Density Residential / Mixed Use” land uses at this location. The proposed variance combines the approved variance subject to Ordinance #1192-02 with this request, and will not add new or incompatible uses to the area.
