Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV25-038

APPLICANT: R. Scott Musuraca and Michelle Mowery; 1103 Neil Avenue; Columbus, OH 43201.

PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.

VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling and an existing two-story detached garage in the R-4, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow conversion of the second floor of the garage into a dwelling unit. A variance is required because although the R-4 district allows up to four dwelling units in one building, it does not allow two single-unit dwellings on one lot. Variances to required parking, lot coverage, lot width, lot area, fronting, and rear yard are included in this request. Staff supports the proposed variances as the request is consistent with similar proposals in the neighborhood, and the project will require a Certificate of Appropriateness for final building design from the Victorian Village Commission.
