Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-054
APPLICANT: Brenda Parker; 405 North Front Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
FIFTH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single-unit dwelling with a rear structure currently used as a garage in the AR-1, Apartment Residential District. The applicant requests a Council variance to permit the rear structure to be partially converted into a single-unit dwelling that also contains a home office. A Council variance is required because the AR-1 district does not permit two single-unit dwelings on on lot. Variances for maneuvering, fronting, minimum and maximum yards, rear yard, side yard obsturciotn, and home occupation are included in the request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Fifth by Northwest Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends single/two-unit dwellings at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Staff finds the proposal to be consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, and compatible with the housing types and density and the recent development trends in urban neighborhoods.
