Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-067
APPLICANT: Eric D. Martineau; 3006 North High Street, Suite 1A; Columbus, OH 43202.
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 single-unit dwelling and detached garage zoned in the ARLD, Apartment Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit the conversion of the second floor of the existing two-story garage into a carriage house. A variance is necessary because the ARLD, Apartment Residential District prohibits two dwellings on the same lot. Variances for lot width, fronting, side yards, rear yard, and a parking space reduction are included in the request. 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.
