Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV14-035
APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock, Architect; 1182 Wyandotte Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Rear single-unit dwelling above a detached garage (carriage house).
VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned ARLD, Apartment Residential District, and is currently developed with a single-unit dwelling. The requested Council Variance will allow the construction of a rear second dwelling above a three-car detached garage (a carriage house). Other variances include no frontage on a public street and no rear yard for the new dwelling. The lot size of the site would permit a two-unit dwelling; therefore Staff has no issues with two separate single-unit dwellings on this lot. In addition, the requested variance will allow development that is characteristic of this historic Columbus neighborhood, and building design will conform to the Victorian Village Commission requirements. Staff supports the proposed use, which will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
