Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-023
APPLICANT: Robert J. Graessle; 210 South Chesterfield Road; Columbus, OH 43209.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single-unit dwelling and an existing single-unit dwelling over a detached garage (carriage house) in the R-1, Residential District.

Variances to minimum side yard and rear yard are included in this request. The site is subject to Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Staff supports the requested use as the design of the existing structure is consistent with the C2P2 design guidelines, and does not introduce an incompatible use to the neighborhood.
