Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-017

APPLICANT: Suleiman Farah; c/o Ugo Nwoke, Aurtec Designs LLC; 39 East Main Street, Suite 112; New Albany, OH 43054.

PROPOSED USE: Shared living facility.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a residential care facility for six occupants in the R-1, Residential District as approved by Special Permit #SP83-005. The requested Council variance will permit a shared living facility for eight occupants, and includes a parking space reduction from eight required spaces to two provided spaces. Four on-site employees are also proposed: two care givers, one security staff person, and one administrative staff person. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Low-Medium Density Residential” (4-8 units/acre) uses for this location. Increasing the occupancy of this existing shared living facility for two additional occupants remains consistent with this recommendation, and does not introduce an incompatible use.
