Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV21-067
APPLICANT: Directions for Youth and Families; c/o Nikki Wildman, Agent; 515 E. Main St.; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Youth center.
MIDEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a condominium clubhouse in the SR, Suburban Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit the applicant to redevelop the site with a 21,781± square foot youth center. Variances for landscaping and screening, minimum number of required parking spaces, dumpster area, rear yard, and side or rear yard obstruction are included in the request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Hamilton Road Corridor Revitalization Plan (2008), which recommends multi-unit residential land uses at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Staff supports the proposal because the proposed youth center will not add incompatible uses to the area as the applicant conducts a similar operation on the adjacent property to the east, and this site will expand current programming. Planning Division staff has reviewed conceptual elevations which are consistent with C2P2 Design Guidelines.
