Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-063
APPLICANT: Mathew C. Lovett & Matthew Bell; c/o Maurice Wells, Agent; Two Miranova Place, Suite 700; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a nonconforming single-unit dwelling in the I, Institutional District. The applicant proposes to construct a rear single-unit dwelling above a detached garage (a carriage house). A Council variance is required because the I, Institutional District does not permit single-unit dwellings. Variances for lot size, minimum lot frontage, building setback, side yards, and rear yard are included in the request to conform the existing dwelling and to permit the proposed dwelling. Staff supports the proposal because the request will not add incompatible uses to the area as there are other carriage houses within this neighborhood. The request is consistent with the recent development pattern in historic urban neighborhoods, and building design will conform to the Victorian Village Commission requirements.
