Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV21-002
APPLICANT: Kreais LLC; c/o David Hodge, Atty.; Underhill & Hodge, LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: A single-unit dwelling and a single-unit carriage house on one lot.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District. The applicant requests a Council variance to permit a carriage house and a single-unit dwelling on one parcel. The variance is necessary because while the R-2F district permits two-unit dwellings, two single-unit dwellings on the same lot are prohibited. Variances to minimum number of parking spaces required, area district requirements, lot with, lot coverage, fronting, maximum and minimum side yard, and rear yard are included in this request.

Additionally, the Plan includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Planning Division staff has determined that the proposed building elevations include design elements that are compatible with surrounding structures.
