Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-039
APPLICANT: Nathaniel Oliver Jr.; 1252 Atcheson Street; Columbus, OH 43203.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district does not allow two single-unit dwellings on one lot, while the applicant proposes to build a single-unit dwelling (carriage house) above a detached garage on the rear of the subject site. Variances to private garage, required parking, fronting, rear yard, minimum side yard, lot coverage, lot width, and lot area are also included in this request. While the Near East Area Plan (2005), does not have a recommended land use at this location, the Plan’s guidelines state that new residential development should be consistent with adjacent housing types and densities. The proposed carriage house is consistent with these guidelines.
