Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV24-115

APPLICANT: Brendan Gates; 216 Orchard Lane; Columbus, OH 43214.

PROPOSED USE: Habitable space within a detached garage.

CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single-unit dwelling with a detached garage in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow habitable space within the detached garage. A Council variance is necessary because the zoning code only allows habitable space within a garage when connected directly to habitable space in a dwelling. A variance to increase the garage's height is also included in this 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 request as the submitted elevation plans are consistent with the Plan’s and the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018), respectively, and the proposal will not add an incompatible use to the area.
