Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-029
APPLICANT: Jarrod Share; 974 North Fourth Street; Columbus, OH 43201.
PROPOSED USE: One two-unit dwelling and one single-unit dwelling on one lot.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned in the R-4, Residential District, and developed with a two-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 a two-unit dwelling and single-unit dwelling on one lot. The applicant also requests variances to area district requirements, fronting on a public street, maximum and minimum side yards, and rear yard. The site is within the boundaries of the Italian Village East Redevelopment Plan (2000), which recommends “residential (1-2 units)” at this location. 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.
