Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-056
APPLICANT: Lauerhass Architecture; c/o Amy Lauerhass; 753 Francis Avenue; Bexley, OH 43209.
PROPOSED USE: Three-unit dwelling.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a two-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District that is being used as a three-unit dwelling. The requested Council variance will legitimize the three-unit dwelling, thus addressing an active Zoning Code violation. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district only permits single-unit dwellings. Variances are also included for reduced parking (from 6 spaces to 3), lot width, area district requirements, and minimum side yard. The site is located within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain a land use recommendation for this location, but recommends that new housing be consistent with the housing types, density, and development pattern of the neighborhood. City staff supports the requested variance as the proposal is consistent with the housing types and density along Bryden Road. Additionally, the site is within the Bryden Road Historic District, and this proposal has been approved by the Historic Resources Commission.
