Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-123
APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock; 1182 Wyandotte Road; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling with a carriage house.
COLUMBUS SOUTHSIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a two-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District. The applicant requests a Council variance to permit the construction of a carriage house. A Council variance is necessary because the R-2F district permits only one- and two-unit dwellings and does not permit the arrangement of a two-unit dwelling and carriage house on the same lot. The request includes variances to lot width, lot area, lot coverage, fronting, minimum and maximum side yards, rear yard, and side and rear yard obstruction. The site is within the planning boundaries of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “Medium-High Density” residential uses. Additionally, the Plan includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The proposal is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation and does not add a new or intrusive use to the neighborhood. Additionally, the request is compatible with the recent development pattern in historic urban neighborhoods.
