Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV21-076
APPLICANT: Maple Craft LLC; c/o Gary K. Dunn, Agent; 5863-C Zarley Street; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Three-unit dwelling and a carriage house.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel zoned in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council Variance will permit the construction of a three-unit dwelling and single-unit dwelling (carriage house) above a detached garage, a total of 4 dwelling units on one lot. A Council variance is necessary because the R-3 district permits only single-unit dwellings. The request includes variances to lot width, area district requirements, lot coverage, fronting, side and rear yards, and a parking reduction from 6 spaces to 2 spaces. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not recommend a specific land use for this location, but does recommend 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 housing types and density in the surrounding area, and incorporates high quality building materials that are compatible with the Plan’s design guidelines.
