Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-035

APPLICANT: Jeffrey Steele; 2320 Red Oak Street; Lewis Center, Ohio 43035.

PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.

NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the applicant to construct a rear single-unit dwelling (carriage house). A Council variance is necessary because the R-3 district does not permit the arrangement of two single-unit dwellings on the same lot. The request includes variances to lot width, lot area, lot coverage, fronting, rear yard, and side yard obstruction. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not recommend a specific land use for this location, but recommends that new housing be consistent with the housing types, density, and development pattern of the neighborhood. City staff supports the requested variance as the proposal is consistent with the housing types and density along East Rich Street, and will not add an incompatible use to the neighborhood.
