Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV04-027

APPLICANT: Terry Brodnax; 2600 Thorndale Avenue; Columbus, Ohio 43207.

PROPOSED USE: Private garage as a principal use.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. The lot is zoned SR, Suburban Residential District, and was once developed with a single-family dwelling that has been demolished. A fire-damaged garage had remained on the lot, but was recently demolished to comply with a Zoning code violation. The applicant is requesting a Council variance to construct a new 720 square foot private garage as the only use on the lot. The applicant lives in the home directly north of the lot and desires an additional garage for the storage of lawn equipment and motor vehichles. Staff does not support a garage as the only use on a parcel within a single-family subdivision. The Code specifically states that "a private garage shall not be an accessory use to a lot in a residential district unless such lot is occupied by a dwelling..."
