Explanation
Council Variance Application CV21-069
APPLICANT: Daniel Defallo; 2573 Indianola Avenue; Columbus, OH 43202.
PROPOSED USE: Conform an existing single-unit dwelling.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested variance will conform an existing single-unit dwelling in the C-4, Commercial District. The site is subject to the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) subarea of the University District Zoning Overlay (UDZO). A Council variance is necessary because residential uses are only permitted above specified commercial uses in the C-4 district. The site is within the planning boundaries of the University District Plan (2015), which recommends “Neighborhood Mixed Use” land uses at this location. The residential use of this property has been long established on this lot, and approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
