Explanation
Council Variance Application CV19-091
APPLICANT: Robert Russell; 7050 Motts Place Road; Columbus, OH 43110.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.52± acre lot has been developed with two single-unit dwellings since before it was annexed into the City of Columbus in 1983, and then subsequently rezoned to the R-2, Residential District in 1999. A Council variance will conform the existing dwellings which is necessary because the R-2 district permits only one dwelling unit per lot. The site is within planning boundaries of the South East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends very low density residential land uses at this location. A hardship exists because the non-conforming status of the site precludes financing options. Approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
