APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock; 1182 Wyandotte Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one parcel.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a single-unit dwelling zoned in the R-4, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit the conversion of an existing detached garage into a dwelling unit, resulting in two single-unit dwellings on one lot. Variances for required parking spaces, lot coverage, floor area ratio, area district requirements, fronting, maximum side yard, minimum side yard, and rear yard are included in this request. The site is located within the planning area of the University District Plan (2015) which recommends “lower intensity residential” uses for this location. Staff finds the proposal is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation and will not add incompatible uses to the area. This request is consistent with the recent development pattern in historic urban neighborhoods. Additionally, this site is located in the Indianola Forest Historical District and is subject to design approval from the Historic Resources Commission.
