Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-016
APPLICANT: John Ingwersen; 1050 Bryden Road; Columbus, OH 43205.
PROPOSED USE: Habitable space above a detached garage.
GERMAN VILLAGE 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 used with habitable space located on the second floor. A Council variance is required because habitable space above a garage is only allowed when connected directly to habitable space within a dwelling. Variances for reduced lot width, reduced maximum and minimum side yards for the existing dwelling, and increased garage height are also included in this request. Staff supports the proposed variances as the request will not introduce an incompatible use to the area and will also conform existing conditions, and will require a Certificate of Appropriateness for final building design from the German Village Commission
