Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV14-058
APPLICANT: Connie J. Klema; 145 East Rich Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: A single-unit dwelling and a three-unit dwelling (carriage house) on one lot.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This variance will conform an existing dwelling and permit the construction of a three-unit dwelling above eight garage parking spaces (carriage house) on the same lot. Other variances are included for maneuvering, stacked parking, and fronting on a public street with reductions to lot area, side yards, and rear yard. 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.
