Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV23-028

APPLICANT: Realej LLC; c/o Eugene and Jacqueline Cobb; 3923 Milner Road Northeast; Newark, OH 43055.

PROPOSED USE: One live-work unit.

ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a four-story mixed-use building comprised of 46 apartment units, approximately 4,900 square feet of vacant commercial space, and enclosed parking in the M, Manufacturing District as permitted by Ordinance #0772-2005 (CV03-039), passed July 18, 2005. The applicant proposes to convert the commercial space to a live-work unit. A Council variance is necessary because residential uses, including live-work units, are prohibited in the M, district, and this use was not permitted with CV03-039. The site is located within the Italian Village Urban Commercial Overlay (UCO), and is within the planning boundaries of the Italian Village East Redevelopment Plan (2000), which encourages a mix of commercial, residential and office uses along the North Fourth Street corridor. The requested use is consistent with the development pattern and historic character of the surrounding neighborhood.
