Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-078
APPLICANT: Michael Mahaney; 1499 Perry Street; Columbus, OH 43201
PROPOSED USE: A carriage house on a lot developed with a single-unit dwelling.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned R-4, Residential District, and is being developed with a single-unit dwelling that is subject of a prior area variance approved by the Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA18-059). The requested Council variance will permit the construction of a single-unit dwelling above a garage (carriage house) on the rear yard of the lot. 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. In addition to the use variance, variances to lot width, lot area, area district requirements, fronting, and rear yard are included in this request. Staff finds that the proposal will not add an incompatible use to the area as there are other carriage houses within this neighborhood. The request is consistent with the recent development pattern in historic urban neighborhoods, and building design will conform to the Italian Village Commission requirements.
