Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-037

APPLICANT: Abdallah Aljacksy; 3870 River Place Court; Columbus, OH 43221.

PROPOSED USE: Residential development.

COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the applicant to split the lot and construct a rear single-unit dwelling (carriage house) on Lot A, and a two-unit dwelling on Lot B. A Council variance is necessary because the R-2F district permits only one- and two-unit dwellings and does not permit the arrangement of two single-unit dwellings on the same lot, as proposed on Lot A. The request includes variances to lot width, lot area, fronting, rear yard, and a parking reduction from four spaces required to two spaces provided, on Lot A. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Near Southside Plan (2011), which recommends “Medium Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location. The Plan includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Staff notes that the site was previously two separate lots that were combined into one lot in 2001. The proposal is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, does not add a new or intrusive use to the neighborhood, is compatible with the recent development pattern in historic urban neighborhoods, and restores the site to two individual lots.
