Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV07-019
APPLICANT: Chris Haehn; c/o Chris Shea; 54 West Third Avenue; Columbus, Ohio 43201.
PROPOSED USE: Second single-family dwelling (carriage house) on one lot.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a single-family dwelling in the R-4, Residential District. The applicant proposes to build a carriage house above a three car garage on the rear of the property. A variance is necessary because the R-4 district does not permit two single-family dwellings on the same lot. In addition to the use variance, requested variances include reductions to lot width, fronting, building line, required side yard, rear yard and in the number of parking spaces from four (4) to three (3). Staff supports the request, which will not add an incompatible use to the area.
