Explanation

Council Variance Application:  CV22-033

APPLICANT:  Joshua J. Tomey; 1282 E. Fulton Street; Columbus, OH 43206.

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

NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:  Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.  The site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the R-3, Residential District. The applicant requests a Council variance to permit two single-unit dwellings on one parcel. A Council variance is necessary because the R-3 district only permits one single-unit dwelling per lot. Variances to minimum numbers of parking spaces required, lot width, lot area, fronting, maximum side yard, and rear yard are included in this request. The site is located within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain a land use recommendation for this location. However, the Plan does include design recommendations, and Planning Division staff has determined that the proposal includes design elements that are compatible with surrounding structures.
