Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV23-085
APPLICANT: David L. Fisher, Trustee; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Co., Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plan, Attorney; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel in the R-3, Residential District developed with a single-unit dwelling. The requested Council variance will allow an accessory dwelling unit within a new detached garage (carriage house). A Council variance is necessary because the R-3, Residential District does not allow two separate dwellings on one lot. The request includes variances to parking surface, building setbacks, rear yard, and garage size. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Clintonville Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends “Single Family” land uses at this location. Staff is supportive as the overall site design is consistent with Plan design guidelines with regard to landscaping and screening, garage placement, and building design. The request is consistent with the housing types, density, and development pattern found in the surrounding area, and is not considered to be an introduction of an incompatible use.
