Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-093
APPLICANT: Right Property Group, LLC, c/o Dave Perry; Dave Perry Company; 411 East Town Street, Floor 1; Columbus, OH 43205.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling and a carriage house.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single undeveloped parcel zoned in the R-3, Residential District. The existing zoning is the result of a city-initiated downzoning of the neighborhood in 1993 (Z93-023A). A Council variance is necessary because the current zoning district only permits single-unit dwellings, while the applicant proposes a two-unit dwelling and a carriage house. The request includes variances to parking, lot width, lot coverage, fronting, and side and rear yards. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not recommend a land use for this location, but recommends that new housing be consistent with the housing types, density, and development pattern of the neighborhood. City staff supports the requested variance as the proposal is consistent with the housing types and density along Bryden Road. Additionally, the site is within the Bryden Road Historic District, and is subject to review by the Historic Resources Commission.
