Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-033
APPLICANT: Amiya K. Dey; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Carriage house on a lot developed with a single-unit dwelling.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-4, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit the construction of a carriage house while also bringing the existing dwelling unit and parcel into conformance. 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 other carriage houses exist within this neighborhood.
