Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-017
APPLICANT: Adam Ward and Kristin Boggs; c/o Jack Reynolds, Atty.; Smith & Hale LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460, Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one parcel.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned R-4, Residential District, and developed with a single-unit dwelling. The requested Council variance will permit the construction of a rear carriage house on the property. 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 single-unit dwellings on one lot. The applicant also requests variances to area district requirements, fronting on a public street, minimum side yard, rear yard, and private garage. Staff finds that the proposal will not add incompatible uses to the area as there are other carriage houses within this community. The request is consistent with the recent development pattern in historic urban neighborhoods, and building design will conform to the Italian Village Commission requirements.
