The applicant is requesting a Council Variance to convert a two-story detached garage into a second dwelling unit on a single lot, which already contains a single-unit dwelling. The property is located in the R-4, Residential District, which does not typically allow two single-unit dwellings on one lot. This variance addresses multiple non-compliant aspects of the proposed development, including parking, lot area, lot coverage, and setbacks. The requested variances include reducing the required parking from four spaces to three, decreasing the lot area per dwelling from 5,000 square feet to 1,466 square feet, and allowing the new dwelling to front a public alley. Both the Victorian Village Commission and city staff have recommended approval, citing that the proposal is consistent with similar carriage house developments in the neighborhood. The final design will require a Certificate of Appropriateness.
