Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV21-116

APPLICANT: Educational Solutions Company; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; Smith & Hale, LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Educational facility.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel developed with an office building in the M-2, Manufacturing District. The requested Council variance will permit the applicant to repurpose the existing building for an educational facility planned for a charter high school. A Council variance is necessary because the M-2 district does not permit educational facility uses. The site is within the planning area of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Office” uses at this location. Staff finds the proposed use compatible with the existing building and parking configuration on site and is compatible with the adjacent business uses on Corporate Drive.
