Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV23-158
APPLICANT: Kiran Ahmad; 1454 Franklin Avenue; Columbus, OH 43205.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single-unit dwelling within the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow a second dwelling-unit above a detached garage (carriage house). A variance is required because the R-3 district does not permit two single-unit dwellings on one lot. Variances for fronting, minimum and maximum side yards, rear yard, lot width and size, and required parking are included in this request. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not contain a recommended land use at this location, but does state that, in general, housing types and density should be consistent with the housing types and densities found in the surrounding area. Staff supports the requested uses and design standards as they are consistent with the Plan’s recommendation for new housing construction compatible to surrounding housing structures in the area.
