Explanation
Council Variance Application CV22-090
APPLICANT: Lighthouse BH Solutions; c/o Matt Romeo; 4124 East Main Street; Columbus, OH 43213; and Robert Zimmerman; Atty.; 200 Public Square, Suite 2300; Cleveland, OH 44114.
PROPOSED USE: Shared living facility.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of the rear 2.58± acres of a 3.14± acre parcel developed with a 38-suite hotel, office building, and a portion of a gas well zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District (Ordinance #0058-01; Z00-036A). The requested Council variance will permit the conversion of the existing hotel into a shared living facility for individuals entering the initial stages of recovery from addiction with supervised monitoring for up to 30 days. A Council variance is necessary because shared living facilities are not permitted in the CPD district. Additionally, the current CPD text only permits office, hotel or motel, and restaurants without a drive through at this location. The site is located within the boundaries of the Far East Land Use Plan (2018), which does not specifically address shared living facilities, but recommends “Mixed-Use 1 (16-24 du/ac)” land uses at this location. The Plan also includes the complete adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). The transient nature of the proposed facility is consistent with the existing hotel use, and does represent the introduction of an incompatible use to the area.
