Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-033
APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock, Architect; 1182 Wyandotte Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings.
.
VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned in the ARLD, Apartment Residential District and consists of four parcels: two that are vacant; and two that are each developed with a single-unit dwelling pursuant a previous Council variance (Ordinance #2041-2003/CV03-022). The applicant proposes to combine each developed lot with each adjacent vacant lot and desires to expand one of the dwellings with a new second attached garage. This request carries over the previous variances to permit the single-unit dwellings with reduced setbacks and side and rear yards, provides for a new attached garage on one lot to include two off-site parking spaces for the other dwelling, and commits to a new site plan. The Council variance is required because these lots do not meet the exception (3333.055) for single-unit dwellings in the ARLD district, and the current CV03-022 did not contemplate expansion of these single-unit dwelling lots. Staff views these variances as negligible, noting that single-unit dwelling use is already permitted by the existing Council Variance, and this request increases the lot sizes and eliminates the need for some of the approved variances.
