Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-030
APPLICANT: Eric D. Martineau; 3006 North High Street, Suite 1A; Columbus, OH 43202.
PROPOSED USE: 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 developed with a single-unit dwelling. The requested Council variance will permit the construction of a rear carriage house on the property and an addition to the principal dwelling. The variance is necessary because the R-4, Residential District permits a maximum of four dwelling units in one building, but does not permit two separate dwellings on one lot. Variances for lot width, lot area, fronting, maximum and minimum side yards, and rear yard are included in this request. The site is within the boundaries of the Italian Village East Redevelopment Plan (2005), which recommends residential (1-2 units) at this location. The proposal is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation and with recent development patterns in historic urban neighborhoods. Additionally, Staff finds the proposal will not add incompatible uses to the area as there are other carriage houses within this neighborhood.
