Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-107
APPLICANT: Roger Hambel; 271 Valley Drive Northeast; Newark, OH 43055.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
SOUTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R, Rural District. The requested variance will legitimize a second single-unit dwelling within the existing detached garage. Variances to reduced lot area and increased private garage size are included in this request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Southwest Area Plan (2009), which recommends “Semi-Rural Residential” and “Open Space Stream Buffer” land uses at this location. Staff supports the request as the detached garage has already been converted into a carriage house without exterior modifications, and notes that the proposal is consistent with the Plan’s recommendation of three dwelling units per acre, with the carriage house resulting in a density of one dwelling unit per acre. In addition, the design and character in relation to the principal structure is compatible with the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018).
