Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-045
APPLICANT: Matthew Dietrich; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Rooming house.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a two-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District that is being used as a non-compliant rooming house. The requested Council variance will permit the rooming house, thus addressing a current Zoning Code violation. The variance is necessary because the R-2F district permits only single- and two-unit dwellings. Variances for aisle, driveway, maneuvering, striping and marking, required surface for parking, minimum side yard, and a parking space reduction from 7 required to 2 provided spaces are included in the request. Additionally, a time-limit condition for the rooming house use which will expire in 2040 has been incorporated as requested by the University Area Commission. The site is within the planning boundaries of the University District Plan (2015), which recommends lower-intensity residential land uses at this location. The request is supportable as the Plan does not address rooming houses, while the variances are acceptable due to the low parking demand and unique features of the proposed use.
