Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV15-052
APPLICANT: Jessica Moore and Timothy Foradis; 1069 Say Avenue; Columbus, OH 43201.
PROPOSED USE: A carriage house on a lot developed with a single-unit dwelling.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned R-4, Residential District, and is developed with a single-unit dwelling. The requested Council variance will permit the construction of a single-unit dwelling above a garage (carriage house) on the rear of the lot, while conforming the existing lot width. A Council variance is necessary because the R-4, Residential District permits a maximum of four dwelling units in one building, but does not permit two residential buildings on the same lot. Variances for lot width, area district requirements, basis for computing area, fronting, and rear yard, are also included in the request. 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 recent development pattern in historic urban neighborhoods and building design will conform to the Italian Village Commission requirements.
