Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV23-084
APPLICANT: Hamlet Properties LLC; c/o Ugo Nwoke, Agent; Aurtec Design; 39 East Main Street; New Albany, OH 43054
PROPOSED USE: Carriage house development.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels each developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-4, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the applicant to construct a single-unit carriage house above a detached garage on each lot. A Council variance is required because the R-4 district allows a maximum of four units in one building, but does not allow two single-unit dwellings on one lot. The request includes variances for lot coverage, floor area ratio (FAR), lot width, lot area, fronting, side yards, rear yard, and reduced parking from four required spaces per lot to two provided spaces per lot. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the University District Plan (2015), which recommends “Lower Intensity Residential” land uses at this location. Staff supports the request as it is consistent with the existing residential development pattern of the neighborhood, and will not add incompatible uses to the area.
