Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-087
APPLICANT: 282 South Monroe, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; and Wesley Gilliland, Attorney; Havens Limited; 141 East Town Street, Suite 200; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit remodeling of the existing dwelling and the addition of a second attached dwelling unit. A Council variance is necessary because the R-3 district permits only single-unit dwellings. The request includes variances to reduce required parking from 4 spaces to two, area district requirements, lot coverage, building lines, minimum side yard, and rear yard. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not include a specific land use recommendation for this location. The Plan does state that in general, housing types and density should be consistent with the housing types and densities found in the surrounding area. City staff supports the proposed variances as the density, provided parking, and building placement are consistent with those found in this neighborhood, and the submitted site plan demonstrates the inclusion of requested street trees.
