Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-115
APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock Architects; c/o Juliet Bullock, Arch.; 4886 Olentangy Boulevard; Columbus, OH 43214.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel in the R-4, Residential District developed with a single-unit dwelling. The requested Council Variance will permit a single-unit dwelling above a rear detached garage (carriage house). A Council variance is necessary because the R-4 district permits up to four units in one building, but does not permit two single-unit dwellings on one lot. The request includes variances to lot width, lot area, fronting, side and rear yards, and a parking space reduction from four required to two provided parking spaces. The site is located within the boundaries of the Victorian Village Commission, which does not include land use recommendations, but will require a Certificate of Appropriateness for the final design of the proposed carriage house. Staff supports the requested use and variances as the proposal preserves the original contributing structure, is located within a walkable neighborhood, and is consistent with similar requests in the area
