Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-131
APPLICANT: Jason Cervenec; 1805 Franklin Avenue; Columbus, OH 43205.
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 and detached garage in the R-3, Residential District. A Council variance is necessary because the current zoning district only permits single-unit dwellings, while the applicant proposes an additional dwelling unit above a new detached garage. Variances for reduced number of parking spaces, fronting, minimum and maximum side yards, and rear yard are included in this request. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain a land use recommendation for this location, but recommends that new housing be consistent with the housing types, density, and development pattern of the neighborhood. City staff supports the requested variance as the proposal is consistent with the housing types and density in the surrounding neighborhood.
