Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV16-052
APPLICANT: Eric D. Martineau, Atty.; 3006 North High Street, Suite 1A; Columbus, OH 43202.
PROPOSED USE: Craft brewery and bar.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance No. 2835-2016; Z16-061) to the C-4, Commercial District to allow the expansion of an existing craft brewery and bar. The request will permit a brewery with off-site distribution in the C-4 Commercial District. Variances are included to reduce distance separation for an industrial use from residentially zoned property, a 57 space parking reduction and no loading space, increased building setbacks to conform the existing structure, and decreased parking setback with parking and circulation to remain in front of the existing building. These reduced development standards are supportable because they account for existing conditions and allow for better site design, traffic circulation, and expansion on this commercial urban-infill site.
