Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-079
APPLICANT: The REllis Group; c/o Robert Ellis; 995 Goodale Boulevard, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH, 43212.
PROPOSED USE: A carriage house on a lot developed with a single-unit dwelling.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a single-unit dwelling zoned in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit the addition of a carriage house on the rear of the property. The variance is necessary because the R-2F district prohibits two separate single-unit dwellings on the same lot. Variances for reduced number of parking spaces, lot width, lot area, fronting, minimum side yard, and rear yard are included in this request. The site is within the boundaries of the Harrison West Plan (2005), which recommends “One and Two Family” land uses for this location. The Plan also recommends that redevelopment be consistent in character and scale with the existing single- and two-unit dwellings. Although this block of Michigan Avenue has not been developed with carriage houses, the Planning Division has determined that the proposed carriage house as a second unit is consistent with the Plan’s recommendations for this type of development, and is in character and scale with the existing surrounding single- and two-unit dwellings.
