Explanation
Rezoning Application Z21-023
APPLICANT: Melissa Bryant; 6515 Cloverlawn Circle; Canal Winchester, OH 43110.
PROPOSED USE: An above-ground swimming pool for an existing single-unit dwelling.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on May 13, 2021.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.15± acre site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling zoned in the L-R-2, Limited Residential District. The requested R-2, Residential District will permit an above-ground swimming pool as an accessory use to the single-unit dwelling. Rezoning is necessary because the current L-R-2 district which was established in 1993 prohibits above-ground swimming pools. That limitation text also prohibits antennas and satellite dishes, and requires minimum home sizes for the subdivision. The request is supported because the principal use will not change, and as the home is already constructed, it meets the minimum size established by the limitation text. It is staff’s preference that restrictions for features such as swimming pools or satellite dishes be established by deed restrictions rather than as zoning limitations. Although such conditions are no longer accommodated in rezoning ordinances, there remain older zoning districts that still include them.
