Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV23-123
APPLICANT: Joshua Tomey; 1282 East Fulton Street; Columbus, OH 43205.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a single-unit dwelling and a vacant rear carriage house dwelling in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will conform the existing dwellings to allow the carriage house to be restored and occupied. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district only allows one single-unit dwelling per lot. The request includes variances to required parking, area district requirements, fronting, and rear yard requirements. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not recommend a specific land use for this location, but does emphasize compatibility with adjacent residential types and densities. Staff recognizes multiple properties with carriage houses in the area, and notes that the proposal is compatible. Additionally, the site is within the Bryden Road Historic District where exterior modifications will require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Resources Commission.
