Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-046
APPLICANT: Michael P. Herman; 633 Linwood Avenue; Columbus, OH 43205.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
LIVINGSTON AVENUE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a single-unit dwelling and a two-story detached garage in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit the space above the existing three-car garage to be converted into a dwelling unit (carriage house). In addition to the use variance, lot area and rear yard reduction variances are included in this request. The site is located within the boundaries of the Old Oaks Historic District and the Near Southside Area Plan (2011), which recommends “Medium Density Mixed Residential (6-10 du/ac)” land uses at this location. The proposed density is consistent with the Plan’s recommendation, and the Planning Division recognizes that the additional unit is within an existing carriage house building, that the site is adjacent to a major interstate, and that the area is composed of a mix of single- and multi-unit housing with similar densities.
