Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-095
APPLICANT: New Heights Contracting; 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: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a single-unit dwelling zoned in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit the addition of a carriage house on the rear of the property. The variance is necessary because while the R-2F district permits two dwellings in one building, two separate single-unit dwellings on the same lot are prohibited. Variances for reduced number of parking spaces, lot width, lot area, fronting, minimum and maximum side yards, and rear yard are included in this request. The site is located within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain a land use recommendation for this location. However, the Plan does include design recommendations, and Planning Division Staff is in support of the proposed elevations, as the request has design elements that are compatible with surrounding structures.
