Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV21-131

APPLICANT: Nitzan Levi; 66 South Douglass Avenue, Unit 203; Columbus, OH 43205.

PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.

NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel zoned in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council Variance will permit the construction of a single-unit dwelling and a single-unit carriage house above a detached garage. A Council variance is necessary because, although the R-2F, Residential District permits a two-unit dwelling, it does not permit two detached single-unit dwellings on one lot. The request includes variances for lot width, lot size, fronting, side yard, and rear yard. The site is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not have a recommended land use 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 elevations are consistent with the Plan’s design guidelines, and with the recent infill development pattern in historic urban neighborhoods.
