Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-095

APPLICANT: David Maddux; The Arcus Group; 1244 Smith Court; Rocky River, OH 44116.

PROPOSED USE: Habitable space above a detached garage.

VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling and detached garage in the ARLD, Apartment Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow habitable space above the existing detached garage. A Council variance is necessary because the zoning code only permits habitable space above a garage when connected directly to habitable space in a dwelling. The request also carries over variances previously granted in 1999 by the Board of Zoning Adjustment for lot coverage, side yards, and the size and height of the detached garage. Staff supports the proposed variances as the request is consistent with similar proposals in urban neighborhoods, and will not introduce an incompatible use to the area. Additionally, any exterior alterations of the existing detached garage are subject to review and issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness by the Victorian Village Commission.
