Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV21-048
APPLICANT: Mike Navarro; c/o Bradley Blumensheid; 679 North High Street, Suite D, Worthington, OH 43085.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned R-4, Residential District, and is developed with a single-unit dwelling and detached garage that are subject of prior area variances approved by the Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA14310-00236). The applicant proposes to add a dwelling unit above the existing garage (a carriage house), thereby providing two unattached single-unit dwellings on one lot. A Council variance is necessary because the R-4, Residential District permits a maximum of four dwelling units in one building, but does not permit two single-unit dwellings on one lot. Variances to lot width, lot area, fronting, and rear yard are included in this request. Staff finds that the proposal will not add an incompatible use to the area as there are other carriage houses within this area. The request is consistent with the recent development pattern in historic urban neighborhoods, and building design will conform to the Italian Village Commission requirements.
