Explanation
Council Variance Application CV23-080
APPLICANT: Stefany Risner; 700 Bryden Road; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a single-unit dwelling and a rear detached garage in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow for the construction of a single-unit dwelling above the existing detached garage (carriage house). A Council variance is required because the R-3 district only allows one single-unit dwelling per lot as a residential use. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not recommend a specific land use for this location, but does emphasize compatibility with adjacent residential housing types and densities. Staff recognizes multiple properties with existing carriage houses in the area, and notes that this request is consistent with the adjacent development pattern of the neighborhood.
