Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-098
APPLICANT: David & Danielle Culbertson; c/o Brenda Parker, Agent; 405 North Front Street; Columbus, OH 43215
PROPOSED USE: Habitable space above a detached garage.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single-unit dwelling zoned in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the construction of a detached garage with habitable space located above. A Council variance is required because habitable space above a garage is only allowed when connected directly to habitable space within a dwelling. A variance for increased garage height is also included in this request. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Clintonville Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends “Single Family” land uses at this location. Staff notes the lack of rear alley access and street parking available to the site, and finds the proposed detached garage to be consistent with the Plan’s residential design guidelines in terms of architectural character, location, and size, and are thus supportive of the variance request.
