Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV07-011

APPLICANT: Connie J. Klema, Atty.; P.O. Box 991; Pataskala, OH 43062.

PROPOSED USE: Office above a private detached garage.

ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant is requesting a Council variance to convert the storage area above a private detached garage to a nine-hundred (900) square foot general office on a lot developed with a single-family dwelling in the R-4, Residential District. The site is subject of a 1999 Board of Zoning Adjustment variance to increase the allowable square footage and height of the garage with a condition that the structure would not be used for business purposes. The Council variance is necessary because the R-4, Residential District prohibits commercial uses in residential accessory structures. Nine conditions addressing items such as size limitation, number of employees, and exterior appearance have been established to ensure the proposed office use will not have a negative impact on the surrounding residential uses. Two on-site parking spaces will be provided in the garage for the single-family dwelling. Variances for minimum number of parking spaces, fronting on a public street, existing side yards and rear yard are also included in the request. No recommendation is being made regarding the hardship aspects of this application.
