Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-074
APPLICANT: Clearview Property Management; c/o Benjamin Perryman; 891 East Long Street; Columbus, OH 43203; and Stanley Jackson, Esq., Atty; 2000 Auburn Drive, Suite 200; Beachwood, OH 44122.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit dwelling with a carriage house.
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 permit the construction of a single-unit dwelling above a detached garage (carriage house) on the rear of the property. A Council variance is necessary because the R-2F district permits only one single- or two-unit dwelling on a single lot, and does not permit the arrangement of a single-unit dwelling and carriage house on the same lot. The request also includes variances for reduced parking spaces from four to two, no frontage on a public street, and reduced lot width, lot area, maximum and minimum side yards, and rear yard. The site is located within the planning area of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “Medium-High Density Residential”, land uses for this location. Additionally the Plan includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The request is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, the recent development pattern for carriage houses in the area, and does not add a new or incompatible use to the neighborhood.
