Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-096
APPLICANT: Jacob and Laura Keegan; c/o Jamee Parish; 162 East North Broadway; Columbus, OH 43214.
PROPOSED USE: Habitable space within a detached garage.
CLINTONVILLE 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. The requested Council variance proposes a new detached garage with habitable space located within the new structure. A Council variance is required because habitable space within a garage is only allowed when connected directly to habitable space within a dwelling. Variances to garage area and garage height are also included in the request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Clintonville Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends “Single-Family” land uses at this location. Staff supports the proposal as it is consistent with the Plan’s land use and design recommendations, and does not add an incompatible use to the neighborhood. The site design also reflects removal of an existing curb cut and driveway from Olentangy Boulevard, with new access from the rear alley which is preferable in alley-based neighborhoods.
