Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-026
APPLICANT: 1305 City Park Ltd.; c/o Jackson B. Reynolds, III, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit a second dwelling unit to be constructed on the lot as shown on the submitted site plan. A Council variance is required because, while the R-2F district permits one- and two-unit dwellings, it does not permit two separate dwellings on one lot. Variances to lot area, lot width, building lines, fronting, side yards, rear yard, maneuvering and parking reduction from 4 spaces to 2 spaces are included in the request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “Medium-High Density Residential” uses at this location, and includes Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018), that recommend design be compatible with neighboring structures in terms of height, width, setbacks, lot coverage, and roof pitch. The request is consistent with similar requests in urban neighborhoods and does not represent the introduction of an incompatible use to the area.
