Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-018
APPLICANT: Brandie C. Bronston; c/o Ivan Houpe; 1310 Oak Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. The site is developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit the construction of a rear carriage house on the property. Variances for reduced parking, lot width requirements, area district requirements, lot coverage, fronting, side yards, and rear yard are included in this request. The site is located within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005). While the Plan does not contain a land use recommendation for this location, it does recommend that 25 percent or more of the total lot area be preserved as rear yard. Staff is supportive of the use, but does not support the amount of lot coverage taken up by the proposed carriage house, as recommended by the Plan. Staff does not believe that deviation from this recommendation is warranted on the subject site.
