Explanation
Council Variance Application CV20-016
APPLICANT: Jeffrey A. Carroll; 1131 Lakeshore Drive; Warsaw, IN 46580.
PROPOSED USE: Conform an existing three-unit dwelling.
COLUMBUS SOUTHSIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site has been developed with a three-unit dwelling since before a neighborhood down-zoning in 2005, resulting in the property being zoned to the R-2F, Residential District. A Council variance will conform the existing three-unit dwelling which is necessary because the R-2F district permits only one- or two-unit dwellings. The site is within the planning boundaries of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends medium-high 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.
