Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-089
APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock, Architect; 1182 Wyandotte Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit the development of a second dwelling unit and garage located at the north end of the property. A Council variance is necessary because the current zoning district prohibits more than one dwelling unit on a lot. Variances for reduced number of parking spaces, area district requirements, building lines, side yards, and rear yard are included in this request. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain a land use recommendation for this location, but recommends that new housing be consistent with the housing types, density, and development pattern of the neighborhood. City staff supports the requested variance as the proposal is consistent with the design recommendations of the Plan, and will not add an incompatible use to the area.
