Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-075
APPLICANT: Michael Brown; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling and a detached garage in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the existing detached garage to be replaced with an accessory dwelling unit. A Council variance is required because although the R-2F district allows two dwelling units in one building, it only allows one single-unit dwelling per lot. Variances to required parking, lot width, lot area, fronting, maximum side yard, minimum side yard, rear yard, and building height are also included in this request. The South Side Plan (2014) recommends “Medium-High Density Residential,” consistent with the proposed use with project design being consistent with Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) design guidelines. Additionally, Staff supports the proposed parking reduction variance due to the availability of on-street parking.
