Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV15-010
APPLICANT: Tina Goodman; 360 Stewart Avenue; Columbus, Ohio 43206.
PROPOSED USE: Rear single-unit dwelling above a detached garage (carriage house).
SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned R-2F, 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 detached garage (a carriage house). Other variances are included for maneuvering, minimum number of parking spaces required, fronting on a public street with reductions to building line, side yards, and rear yard. A Council variance is necessary because the R-2F, Residential District permits a maximum of two units in one building, but does not permit two residential buildings on one lot. Staff finds that the proposal will not add incompatible uses to the area as there are other carriage houses within this neighborhood. The request is consistent with the development pattern in the area as there are other dwellings that front on Zimpfer Street.
