Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV23-008

APPLICANT: Cephas Pearson; c/o Brenda Parker, Atty.; 405 North Front Street; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.

FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of an undeveloped parcel in the R-1, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit a two-unit dwelling. A Council variance is required because the R-1 district permits only single-unit dwellings. Included in the request are variances for parking setback and rear yard. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Far East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Very Low Density Residential (<4 du/ac)” land uses at this location, and includes complete adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies Design Guidelines (2018). The request is consistent with the Plan’s recommendations and does not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
