Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-030
APPLICANT: Umpierre, LLC; c/o Shenequa Chapman, Agent; P.O. Box 334; Brice, OH 43109.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit dwelling.
FRANKLINTON AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the C-4, Commercial District. The requested variance will conform the existing dwelling. A Council variance is necessary because residential uses are only permitted above specified commercial uses in the C-4, Commercial District. The request also includes a variance to reduce the building setback line for the existing structure. The site is located within the planning area of the West Franklinton Plan (2014), which recommends “Neighborhood Mixed Use” land uses at this location, which includes residential components. The dwelling has been long established on this lot and is consistent with the residential uses in the surrounding neighborhood. A hardship exists because the non-conforming nature of the site prevents the owner from rehabilitating and improving the property. Approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
