A variance has been granted for the property at 39 Linwood Avenue to allow two single-unit dwellings on one lot in the ARLD, Apartment Residential District. This involves the construction of a new single-unit dwelling above a detached garage (carriage house) at the rear of the lot, alongside the existing single-unit dwelling. The approval includes variances from multiple sections of the Columbus City Codes. Specifically, it allows for a reduction in required parking from four to two spaces, maintains a reduced lot width of 42 feet instead of the required 50 feet, permits the proposed carriage house to front on a rear public alley rather than a public street, and allows for no rear yard for the carriage house, deviating from the 25 percent of lot area requirement. Both the Near East Area Commission and City Departments recommended approval, citing consistency with the residential character of the area and similar urban developments. The ordinance is conditioned on the property being used for two single-unit dwellings as per the submitted site plan and obtaining all necessary permits and a Certificate of Occupancy for the carriage house. The site encompasses approximately 0.13 acres.
