Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV21-065
APPLICANT: DJuan Armstead; 2088 Stone Valley Place; Reynoldsburg, OH 43068.
PROPOSED USE: A two-unit dwelling and a carriage house on one lot.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a two-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District. The applicant requests a Council variance to permit a carriage house and a two-unit dwelling on one parcel. The variance is necessary because while the R-2F district permits two-unit dwellings, a two-unit dwelling and a single-unit dwelling on the same lot are prohibited. Variances to minimum number of parking spaces required, area district requirements, lot with, lot coverage, fronting, maximum and minimum side yard, and rear yard are included in this request. The site is within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends “Higher Density Residential/ Mixed Use Development” at this location. The plan also recommends that accessory dwelling units be compatible with the primary residence. Planning Division staff has determined that the proposed building elevations include design elements that are compatible with the primary residence and surrounding structures.
