Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-052
APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock, Architect; 1182 Wyandot Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Four-unit dwelling and a two-unit carriage house on the same lot.
VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned R-4, Residential District and is developed with a four-unit dwelling. The requested Council variance will allow the construction of a rear two-unit dwelling above a two-car garage (a carriage house), and will conform existing conditions for the four-unit dwelling. Other variances are included for increased lot coverage and fronting on a public street with reductions in lot width, 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, and does not permit two residential buildings on one lot. Staff finds that the proposal is compatible with surrounding development as there are other rear dwellings and multi-unit residential uses within this neighborhood. The request is consistent with the recent development pattern in historic urban neighborhoods, and building design will conform to the Victorian Village Commission requirements.
