Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV21-058
APPLICANT: Compass Homes; c/o Ted Nemeth; 3763 Attucks Drive; Powell, OH 43065.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel zoned in the R-3, Residential District. The applicant proposes to construct a single-unit dwelling with a rear single-unit dwelling above a detached garage (a carriage house). A Council variance is necessary because the current zoning district prohibits more than one dwelling unit on a lot. The request includes variances to lot width, area district requirements, fronting, maximum side yard, rear yard, and to reduce required parking from four to three spaces. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not recommend a land use for this location, but states that new housing should be consistent with the housing types, density, and development pattern of the neighborhood. Staff believes the proposal is compatible with the urban character of the neighborhood as recommended by the Plan, and does not introduce incompatible uses to the area. Planning staff also finds the conceptual elevations for the proposed dwellings consistent with the Plan’s design recommendations.
