Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-048
APPLICANT: Blue Chip Homes QOZB, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings.
FRANKLINTON AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two platted lots comprising one parcel in the C-4, Commercial District. The applicant proposes to raze the existing dwelling, split the parcel into two parcels, and build a single-unit dwelling on each parcel. A Council variance is necessary because residential uses are only permitted above certain commercial uses in the C-4, Commercial District. The site is within the planning area of the West Franklinton Plan (2014) which recommends “Neighborhood Mixed Use” land uses at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines. The dwellings are consistent with the residential uses that are prevalent in the surrounding neighborhood, and approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
