Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-012

APPLICANT: 360 Jackson LLC; c/o Jackson B. Reynolds, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Three-unit dwelling.

GERMAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a three-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will legitimize the existing dwelling which was established without permits or Zoning Clearance prior to 1970. A Council variance is necessary because the R-2F district permits one- and two-unit dwellings but does not permit three-unit dwellings. The request also includes variances to area district requirements and to reduce the number of required parking spaces from 2 to zero for the third dwelling unit. There is no area plan for this location, but the site is subject to review and approval by the German Village Commission. A hardship exists because the non-compliant nature of the site precludes financing options and prevents the owner from further improving the property. Approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
