Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-064
APPLICANT: Alejandro Gonzalez; 825 South Front Street; Columbus, OH 43206.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
BREWERY DISTRICT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is currently developed with a single-unit dwelling zoned in the M, Manufacturing District. Ordinance #2493-2016 (CV16-038) was passed on October 17, 2019 to conform the single-unit residential use of the property. The applicant now proposes to construct an additional dwelling unit above a detached garage (a carriage house) on the property. The Council variance is necessary to increase the number of residential units in the M, Manufacturing District. Variances to allow maneuvering over parking spaces, a reduced parking setback, stacked parking spaces, a reduction from four required to two parking spaces, and reduced building setbacks are included in the request. The site is located within the boundaries of the “Southern Tier” of the Brewery District Plan (1993), which supports residential uses. The proposal is also compatible with the residential uses that are prevalent in the surrounding neighborhood.
