Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-084
APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock, Architect; 1182 Wyandot Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on each of two contiguous lots.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels each developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-4, Residential District. The applicant requests a Council variance to permit the construction of one rear single-unit dwelling and one detached garage on each lot, with 294 E. 4th Avenue being Lot A, and 288 E. 4th Avenue being Lot B. The variance is necessary because the R-4, Residential District permits a maximum of four units in one dwelling, but does not permit two dwellings on one lot. Variances for driveway, maneuvering area, lot width, area district requirements, fronting, and rear yard are included with this request. The site is within the boundaries of the Italian Village East Redevelopment Plan (2000), which recommends “Residential (1-2 units)” for this location. Staff finds that the proposal will not add incompatible uses to the area, is consistent with the recent development pattern in this historic urban neighborhood, and notes that building design will conform to the Italian Village Commission requirements.
