Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV14-059
APPLICANT: Connie J. Klema, Atty.; 145 East Rich Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Three-unit dwelling and single-unit dwelling (carriage house) on one lot.
ITIALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The undeveloped site is zoned R-4, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the construction of a three-unit dwelling and a rear single-unit carriage house on one lot. Other variances are included for maneuvering, stacked parking, and fronting on a public street with reductions to lot width, lot area, building line, minimum side yard, rear yard, and required parking for one space. A Council variance is necessary because the R-4, Residential District permits a maximum of four dwelling units in one building, but does not permit two residential buildings on one lot. Staff finds that the proposal will not add incompatible uses to the area as there are other carriage houses within this community. The request is consistent with the recent development pattern in historic urban neighborhoods, and building design will conform to the Italian Village Commission requirements.
