Explanation
Council Variance Application CV24-032
APPLICANT: Elie Younes; c/o Timothy Bass, Agent; 36 King Avenue; Columbus, OH 43201.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the construction of a single-unit dwelling above a detached garage (carriage house). A Council variance is required because the R-2F district only allows one single- or two-unit dwelling per lot, but does not allow two single-unit dwellings on one lot. The site is within the planning boundaries of the University District Plan (2015), which recommends “Lower Intensity Residential” uses at this location. Although this proposal exceeds the recommended density, staff recognizes that the existing R-2F district would allow a two-unit dwelling by right, and notes the presence of existing accessory dwelling units in the neighborhood. Additionally, the proposal is consistent with the Plan’s design guidelines.
