Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-132
APPLICANT: Theresa Barron; c/o Kelton Waller, Agent; 32 North 17th Street; Columbus, OH 43203.
PROPOSED USE: A single-unit dwelling and a two-unit dwelling 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 requested Council variance will allow for the addition of a two-unit dwelling at the rear of the property. A Council variance is required because the R-2F district allows a single-unit dwelling or a two-unit dwelling, but does not allow both single- and two-unit dwellings on the same lot. The request includes variances to required parking, lot width, lot area, fronting, minimum side yard, and rear yard. The proposed two-unit dwelling is consistent with the Near Southside Plan’s (2011) recommendation of “Medium Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location, and Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) residential design guidelines which recommend new housing be compatible with nearby design and character, and consistent with nearby home designs. Staff is supportive of the parking reduction variance due to the presence of on-street parking, and the walkable development pattern of the area.
