Council Variance 370-376 Woodland Ave Four-Unit Lot Split (2815-2026)

At a glance

• What: Ordinance 2815-2026 (Council Variance CV26-054) for 370 and 376 Woodland Ave. (43201): a variance from Section 3332.035 (R-3 residential district) and 3312.49(C) (required parking) to allow four-unit dwellings with reduced parking in the R-3 district.
• Why (per captions): Allows a future lot split leaving a four-unit dwelling on each lot, with parking reduced from six to four spaces per building. Only single-unit dwellings are allowed in the district; the lot split removes a nonconforming condition.
• Recommendations: City staff and the Near East area commission recommended approval.
• Where it stands: Approved as amended 9-0 on 10/19/2026. Second reading waived; no public speakers.
