Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-099

APPLICANT: Georgette Asfoura; c/o Brenda Parker, Architect; 405 North Front Street; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Single-unit dwelling with an accessory dwelling unit.

COLUMBUS SOUTHSIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel in the R-4, Residential District developed with a single-unit dwelling. The requested Council variance will permit an accessory dwelling unit within the existing detached garage at the rear of the lot. A Council variance is necessary because the R-4, Residential District permits a maximum of four dwelling units in one building, but does not permit two separate dwellings on one lot. The request includes variances to lot width, lot area, fronting, side and rear yards, and reduced parking from four spaces required to one space provided. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “Medium-High Density Residential” land uses at this location, and includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The request is consistent with the housing types, density and development pattern found in the surrounding area, and is not considered to be an introduction of an incompatible use.
